Launcher Makes PC Inoperable while downloading / File System Operations

in Alpha Two Bug Reporting
The intrepid launcher when it is patching and downloading/updating the file systems after an update, causes my PC to be essentially inoperable. It seems to completely hijack File Explorer and I essentially have to wait until its done to resume normal operations on my PC. No other game launcher/installer does this. (Bnet Client game downloads/updates, Stream, Tarkov Launcher, League Client Etc).

It completely caps out my kingston M2 2TB Drive at 100% utilization on Windows 11. I also notices the xdelta2/xdelta3 executable take up to 2GB-3GB each in memory usage.

    I have the same experience and it feels like one of those things where 100% utilization actually causes it to do its work slower than if it had capped out at 80% utilization. The computers just locked up at that point.

    This is still about and really needs addressing,
    when patching it completely freezes the PC from doing anything even the likes of discord cant be used

    hoping that the devs see this, as patching is so painful to do
