Title:
  Update-manager updates makes gnome-shell high load

Status in update-manager package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Ubuntu-desktop 24.04 with kernel 6.8.0-60-generic @ 6/6/2025

  When update-manager pops up with new updates and installs them

  it makes gnome-shell going to a higher CPU/load (around 40%)

  and makes the system fans blow higher then does not stop anymore

  till i halt the computer and reboot.

  I tested updates via apt, where i cant reproduce the same high loads
  there
