App updates consuming all bandwidth

Having this exact problem and it's driving me nuts. The CC app is ridiculus in the way it takes over the entire bandwidth of the computer and doensn't leave a drop of internet for any other app to use. Can't even load a single webpage while CC is updating apps. I have hundreds of internet applications on my computer and no other program does this. There is a fundamental problem with the CC app. 

Same problem for me. As soon as I click Update on an application in Creative Cloud Desktop, if I'm streaming a YouTube video for example, the video stops. How is that possible in 2020 ? So bad programming ? Come on Adobe, improve your software!!!!

I have the same issue. Apparently. Because my entire connection was grinding to a halt, nothing was loading at any decent pace anymore, even Google took forever to load up and pinging 1.1.1.1 (Cloudflare DNS) completely timed out. I was just about to check the router status when the Creative Cloud App notified me two apps were just updated. And now everything is back to normal speed again. I've looked around in the app settings to see if there is any way to throttle or pace the download, like Windows Update does, but there is none. This is unacceptable and utter madness: how can an app updater just arbitrarily hijack 95% of your bandwidth to do some minor maintenance, while you're in the middle of working??! This needs to be addressed ASAP.

Same here, bandwith goes dramatically down even though I have a very fast internet connection. 

Anyone any creative idea?!  

I'm clearly having this issue almost 3 years after it was reported. This would be easy to solve by adding a bandwidth option to the program like many other programs also use. I (unfortunately) live in rural Ireland and have only a 4G router connection (15mb/10mb). When I look at my performance monitor it seems to be saturating the connection. While we appreciate your fast servers, we need it to be controled! Please fix.

Just had a mystery grinding to a halt of my connection, Checking 'Task Manager' 'Network Usage' revealed this to be Adobe Installer. Absolutely no other clues were given that Adobe were taking over. I had no other Adobe applications running. I find this pretty poor practice and agree about their assumption on their part that all their subscribers have fast Internet. I'm still on ADSL as there is no fibre here yet, I do get around 17Mbps down which, whilst frustrating at times, is adequate for my use.

There is a setting in CC Preferences for limiting bandwidth for Syncing but not for Updating... I can turn off Auto Updates and do it manually but that's not really convenient.

It stopped for a while and now it's started again.... Grrrr! Going to walk the dogs...

One answer says "spend you cheap maggot!" and the other answer is philosophical...

If uploading photos and psd files is bandwidth hogging then why not allow for update at a certain time in creative cloud. I was thinking of letting it update while I went for a walk today. Alas, I forgot.

No BT fibre cable in Middlesbrough, UK, maybe Virgin..?

The arrogance and contempt of companies and individuals who are fortunate enough to live somewhere with fast internet, when planning things on the assumption the rest of the world will just "get faster internet", is breathtaking.

I have the exact same problem. When I try and do app updates and when Lightroom CC uploads a bunch of photographs my other internet apps stop all together. My internet speed is 3-4 MHz. Has anyone found a solution to this problem?

I am having the same issue at our office. We have a business internet line which supports simultaneous users but as soon as I start an install for Adobe CC versions through the cloud app, the internet comes to a crawl.
