Is there any way to fix the Creative Cloud random update & lag?

Question

Right before Adobe Creative Cloud decides there's an update, my computer pretty much freezes, on ANY computer, including very powerful ones.
 
It's super annoying. I kind of regret paying for this software,[edited by moderator] I'm just trying to run Photoshop, I don't care about updates and I don't want Creative Cloud but it's forced on me. The auto update isn't even on... it's clearly doing some kind of forced check that causes that right before it says there's an update available (or whatever else.)
 
Once again, this is pretty much confirmed on all my computers ever, and my friend who does pay for Photoshop/CC as well reports the same annoying issue.
 
I've deleted it and cancelled my subscription several times as a result but that's not a permanent solution.
