Everytime the update gets installed my disk usage goes to 100% and everything I was doing freezes. Games, videos etc.
This only started to be this severe a few days ago, and as you can probably imagine, having your game completely lock up for a few minutes and even crash is not fun at all. Is there a way to make avast use less resources while updating? Did something else change?
Do you have Gaming Mode active ???
Yes, gaming mode is on, which is what makes it so confusing.
