[Attention!] Creative Cloud causing serious connection issues.
This is a very serious problem, and I hope that if anyone else encounter this, they find this thread.
So the problem?
Suddenly, my internet connection started getting some serious issues, and I thought my network card was singing its last song.
Websites stopped loading, applications stopped connection to the cloud etc, although some applications using direct IP-adress to connect did work, so my first thought was a DNS issue.
I started troubleshooting my PC for hours to no avail, that included tracking IP-adresses and DNS servers, changing drivers for my network card, trying other routers and whatnot. The list goes on and on.
I even re-installed the entire PC after hours of no results.
So with a clean PC, things started working again. I then started installing all my software again from scratch, and suddenly, the problem returned. So again, I started troubleshooting. After starting the PC in safe-mode with network capabilities, I figured out that it wasn't my network card.
After hours of restarting and disabling/activating processes in the background, the cultprit was obvious.
Creative Cloud caused network problems for every single application I used. But it only happened when CC started on windows initial load. I can start it afterwards with no problems.
So basically:
Fresh install of PC
Install CC
== Connection issues.
Solution: Turn off autostart for "Adobe Creative Cloud"
Autostart can be turned off in the application itself, or through searching "msconfig" on windows, autostart tab.
Someone have to take a look at this. I was very close to buying new hardware for my computer, or replacing the entire MOBO, CPU, RAM etc. It took my almost two days to figure this out. It was not an obvious problem.
