AVG puts disk at 100% when I wake it up

AVG Performance
1

About 75% of the time when I wake up my PC (Win10 Home) I see in Task Manager that the Disk is showing 100% active time. The PC is slow. And the app that is using the most is AVG Software Installer.

Is there a way to get AVG to stop behaving like this?

Thanks.
