Several months ago I was dealing with huge audio interruption issues - typical sign of some other, blocking, high-priority process taking too long.
Turns out Adobe's update service on Windows reads(and I guess also writes) about 130MB of data from disk every few seconds. My disk was 90%+ full, so the usual slowdown related to this was occurring, slowing disk I/O to around 80MB/s.
Disabled the service and the issues disappeared. I bought a new laptop since, but the whole thing struck me as such an unnecessary thing to do.
I mean, why was that service reading/writing so much?
