System freezes since High Sierra

2 things, the 10.13.3 update does seem to help, watch your activity monitor[CPU] for high percent activity. For my mid 2015 IMac only Photos with 30+ meg raw files causes any issues still.... I also have checked the Share Mac Analytics in the system preferences -Security and Privacy-Privacy to be sure Apple is aware of the issues with Sierra/High Sierra.

I installed the 10.13.3. update on 28 January and haven't had a freeze since. The only residual issue that started after upgrading to High Sierra is that TweetDeck crashes a lot - seems to be when I open a new tab in Safari. So I'm hoping the High Sierra nightmare is largely over.

had the same issue when connected to external monitor with my 2016 MBP. 10.13.2 seems to have resolved the issue.

High Sierra 10.13.3 also solved the issue on my side. My MacPro 2013 was freezing every day with 10.13.1 and 10.13.2. Since 10.13.3, it have been working perfectly for several weeks.

The same here unfortunately. When it freezes, I can move around the mouse. The strange thing is, when I go to the Apple logo in the top left, select it, and select lock screen, which takes a while, and log in again, everything's working again. It also happens while I'm working on my Mac, so it doesn't seem directly related to the screen saver.

Major identical problems on my Mac Mini (mid 2010) after 10.13.1. update. I had 1 yr old Time Machine backup so after saving files to external hard drive, while in Safe mode, I restored using Time Machine to before 10.13.1 and system stopped freezing but I lost lots of apps so I found 10.13.2 and installed; no problems whatsoever, system is operating as fast as it did before problems started. Next time, do not panic, Apple IT will work it out.

High Sierra seems ok after reinstalling OS on a clean hard drive.

I have a late 2013 iMac . Constant problems the past couple

Years went away when I replaced the fusion drive with an SSD.

So it isn’t just the OS - it is when certain unknown conditions occur also.

I can confirm that, at least for me, this issue didn't occur anymore after installing the 10.13.2 beta's and 10.13.2 final.

You're replying on a topic with a specific issue as stated in the OP's first paragraph. I experienced these issue's but after installing the 10.3.2 beta's, these issue's were gone.

My advice is to go back to Sierra 10.12.

Works nicely and the upgrade to High Sierra isn't really worth the trouble.

I have been down the same road with my MacPro 2013.

Reinstalled Sierra (10.12.x) and all is fine again.

Have you tried to do an Internet recovery?

Reboot with <Command><Option>R

Put in a new drive .

Reinstalled high Sierra . No more freezing.

10.13.1 didn't solve the problem for me. MacBook Pro 15" late 2014. The problem is probably related to the video card driver (Nvidia GeForce GT 750M 2 GB), since the system hangs every time I do something "intensive". I can hang it 99% if I plug the external monitor before waking up the laptop from the sleep: when I open the lid the the system doesn't respond anymore. Sometimes instead it just slow down incredibly so I'm forced to shut the computer down because it's rather unusable.

I'm experiencing the same issue too and same model as op's. I have found a diagnose of WindowServer right before the system freezes and I hope it can help. In my case, the freezing is triggered by PDFExpert.
