I've disabled the option for keeping the Creative Cloud up to date as well as auto-updating Creative Cloud apps, but I know anytime a new update is available for my CC apps as my computer becomes unresponsive for a few minutes and then I'll get a pop-up notification that updates for apps are available. This doesn't make any sense about why a notification should cause things to slow down this much.
I'm going to also disable App Update notifications, which is not ideal becuase I'd like to know when updates are available, but I can't have my computer randomly becoming unresponsive.

I did the reset of the app and the next few days it still had the same issue every day. Although I've found that this week I've not experienced the problem at all.

maybe a cc app update fixed the problem.
