2012 MBP becomes unusable every time an update is available

So I’ve noticed that at times my background disappears and turns white and the dock disappears but the tool bar stays. The entire computer grinds to a snails pace.

Every time this happens I notice there is a macOS update available (so can’t repatch with a pending update).

Updating and repatching does fix it but it’s very inconvenient because the computer is basically unusable till I do the update. And that’s not something that necessarily can be done quickly. Gotta download it and then wait for it to install.
