Per subject. My MacBook has been burning hot and the fan spinning all the time since the update 2 days ago. I haven’t used any CPU heavy apps, just Word and Preview could get the fan running. Any advice? Thanks!

Takes a bit longer to get to the login screen, does a quick disk repair before it fully boots up, and certain system caches get cleared and rebuilt, including dynamic loader cache, font cache, etc., third party system modifications and system accelerations are disabled.
