Since upgrading to 10.13.2 (17C88) my iMac slows down after some time, the spinning wheel continues to spin until the whole machine is hanging. After restart everything is first alright but after a while it slows down again. First aid did not help either.
iMac (24-inch Mid 2007), Mac OS X (10.7.3)
Open Activity Monitor and see if you have UserEventAgent using lots of CPU and Memory.
There have been several posts about it. Not sure if there is any suitable solution.
If you don't have that process running out of control,
Try starting in Safe Mode and then restart normally. Use safe mode to isolate issues with your Mac - Apple Support
If not, it may be some software that is not compatible with the new update.
Please verify your hardware profile this site. Showing iMac 24 inch Mid 2007 iMac. That machine is NOT able to upgrade to High Sierra. Follow the link for additional information How to download macOS Sierra - Apple Support
The UserEventAgent looks normal and I am running the machine now in the SafeMode.
The system seems to work more stable, but there seem to be some odd display delays happening. When I move the curser over the dock, the items are coming up wave like.
Is this normal in safe mode?

Yes. Safe Mode disables accelerated graphics.
Many thanks for the clarification.
After dbl checking all my software, I realised that Microsoft Office had an pending upgrade. Once I upgraded MS to the lastest version, 10.13.2 (17C88) is working absolutely fine again.
Its a iMac (27-inch, Late 2012) and compatible with High Sierra.
Then please correct your profile
I did correct my profile, sorry for the mishap. I wasn't on this forum for a long time and they still has my old machine registered.
Eh the OP can leave their profile as he/ she wishes, its not up to you.
You're welcome.
10.13.2 (17C88)
