Windows 10: Windows updates causing freezes?

Hello, this is not the first time I have run into this issue with my computer. Basically, my applications will freeze, or stutter for 5 or so seconds, this causes the game to crash sometimes and any audio to cut off. In the past I never knew what caused it and could only solve it by system resetting. I now figure that it might be installing a windows update. I just installed the recent Windows 11 update and started facing this issue. Is there a fix for this?

• When does Windows 10 hangs/freezes? Is it after logging in to Windows? Or is it when you are using an application?
