High Sierra macOS freezing and stops

I upgrated to high Sierra and have a big problem since then. About 3-4 times a day in my worktime my MacBook Pro (i7, 256 SSD, 16 GB RAM), is lagging and freezing. I even can't move the mouse on the screen, only music is playing. I don't know what is the problem because i cant even make a report on that. This is a real problem, because I am working and this still happens. Maybe anyone have this problem too? What can I do, because untill upgrade everything worked perfectly fine.

Help please !!

I ended up low level formatting and reinstalling EVERYTHING from scratch ... Apple hosed something in the upgrade process ... after 4 months of waiting, I took matters into my own hands

If you're using BetterTouchTool, it might be the culprit:
