Why does updating games on the Epic Game Store freeze my PC?

I've been experiencing a frustrating issue with the Epic Game Store. Every time I update a game, it seems to use 100% of my SSD's read/write speed, which makes my PC completely unresponsive. Even if I try to limit the download speed, it doesn't help. This makes it impossible for me to use other applications, like Discord, while the update is in progress. Has anyone else faced this problem?

It sounds like you might have a hard drive issue going on. What are your computer specs? Knowing that might give a better idea about what's causing this.
