Reduce Windows Task Priority for Creative Cloud App Updates

Advocate ,
Feb 28, 2024 Feb 28, 2024

Living in Canada, we have some of the worlds highest internet costs which means I only have sufficient bandwidth for my normal use.  I don't have automated updates enabled on Creative Cloud because I like to wait to see if there are any issues on new releases.

 

Today I decided to update LrC and PS while I was working on other things on my computer. As you would expect, when CC was downloading, the performance of other Windows processes that were also using the internet were impacted.

 

A quick look in Task Manager revealed CC's 'SETUP.EXE' was using all avaiable network bandwidth. Setting it's priority to 'LOW' allowed it to continue but also allowed me to work with other network based apps.

 

I checked but could not find any option in setting the priority of CC tasks when performing app updates. Is there such a setting? If not, where can I post a feature request?

 

Thanks

not in the cc app. ie, you would need an os setting or 3rd party app to set priority.
