If you are wondering what exactly is causing the freezes and hangs, the culprit is the "Secure-Boot-Update scheduled task". As the name suggests, this runs a scheduled Secure Boot update whenever you are online or connected to the internet. That is why many affected users initially thought the issue was related to the internet as they noticed the bug won't show up when they were offline.

And a buggy implementation means it might run too often, or continuously.
