Q: "Keychain Circle Notification" not responding.

After installing OS 10.11.4 my Mac becomes sluggish. I check the Activity Monitor and see that the "Keychain Circle Notification" is not responding. Force quitting hangs the entire Mac and I'm forced to do a hard restart.  Does anyone have any ideas on this or we just at the mercy of Apple rolling out a fix?

iMac with Retina 5K display, OS X El Capitan (10.11.4)

    This has been happening to me since six months after I got my brand new MacBook Air in 2014. I'd hoped Sierra would fix this, but nope. Happened again yesterday. I can't find a pattern. Somedays I'll have five or six Safari windows going and it's fine. Other days, I'll be in just Scrivener and it happens. I'm going to keep Activity Monitor open and sorted so I can watch distnoted. As soon as I hear the fan start, I'll try to kill it. This is a workaround. If I wanted intermittent random crashes, I'd go back to Windows. Whatever happened to "It just works."?

    With both 10.11 and 10.12, I had a similar issue. Running Disk Utility found and fixed many problems resulting in a solution in my case.
