Otherwise, terminate the process in question by clicking on it and going to “View > Quit Process”.
If the process is “Not Responding” then wait for few minutes to see if it either returns to a normal operation or crashes. If you look at Activity Monitor and an app is acting strangely–like using 100% of your CPU when it shouldn’t be–then something may be wrong. A Web browser may show high CPU usage while rendering or displaying multimedia content, like videos.Kernel task helps manage your Mac’s temperature by making the CPU less available to processes that are using the CPU intensely. Occasionally, you will see a process named “kernel_task” using a large percentage of your CPU, often when your Mac’s fans are blowing.This is usually normal behavior (unless it’s all the time). Processes associated with Spotlight can show an extended spike in CPU usage during indexing.
Only thing that can still make fileproviderd eat up some CPU along with it is photoanalysisd which does facial recognition on all your photos, you can check up the advancement of this task in Photos.app > People. Check that fileproviderd is no longer throwing up tons of errors per seconds.
Make sure everything is ok in Activity Monitor.app and in Console.app > errors and warnings.

I suggest you never, ever try to force download a folder, whenever you need a file it will automatically download it for you, but force downloading it may screw things up again, I advise for the moment to leave as is. That's it, your system should now be working smoothly without fileprovider canibalizing the CPU.

Make sure System Preferences > Apple id > iCloud > Optimize Mac Storage remains unchecked. Verify that everything is working smooth and no process is out of control in Activity Monitor.app and go to System Preferences > Apple id > iCloud and re-check iCloud Drive, wait for it to enable itself properly. (optional) With the command line, remove the iCloud Drive (archive) folder in your home /Users/ with the command: sudo rm -rf /Users//iCloud\ Drive\ \(archive\), you can also move it someplace else to safe keep it with the mv command. Then, go to /Users//Library/Caches and /Library/Caches and /System/Library/Caches and delete everything in them (don't worry it's just system and application caches). Go to /Users//Library/Application Support (this directory is hidden, but you can access it with Finder > Go > Go to folder, after typing the start of each path you can type tab to autocomplete) in it you delete FileProvider folder. Now when you no longer have iCloud Drive active, we are going to clear some caches, but before everything again in Activity Monitor.app force quit fileproviderd, iCloudDrive, and cloudd. Still in System Preferences > Apple id > iCloud and uncheck iCloud Drive, keep a local copy or not (I chose not), normally it was already synced before then there is a copy of your data in the cloud so no worries. Go to System Preferences > Apple id > iCloud and uncheck Optimize Mac Storage. In Activity Monitor.app, sort processes by CPU usage, choose fileproviderd, iCloudDrive, and cloudd and force quit them. I'm on macOS catalina beta (build number 19A512f), here's a shotgun approach to fixing this problem, at least temporarily.
