My MacBook is being unresponsive after few minutes of startup. I can toggle between the applications by using cmd + tab, plus I can click on current application but nothing works. For example if I click the apple icon on top it will show the drop down menu but nothing is clickable.

By far the easiest way to cause poor performance, instability, overheating and crashing is to install ANY third-party speeder-uppers, Cleaners, Optimizers, or Virus scanners, Bit Torrent, or a VPN that you installed yourself.

anything like that installed?
Try booting into Safe Mode to see if that makes any difference.
Try running the Apple Diagnostics to see if any hardware issues are detected. Plus see how the trackpad works to interact with the system when accessing the Startup Options menu & dealing with the diagnostic EULA.
