You should never, ever, install a MacOS update the moment it comes out. There is a high chance (> 30% from my experience) that something will be wrong with it. iOS too for that matter.

Wait for at least one week and check out other people's experiences first.

To elaborate on what others are saying, macOS has been doing this phone home for a while, it just looks like the server it phones home to started being _really slow_. So if you were offline, the software behaves fine, but if you're online, it blocks on getting a response.

Great example of how you should never block UX on network requests.
