Correction. I repeated the step again today. The desktop isn't freezing up.
Yast2 Software Management window freezes up for about three minutes. All
buttons and tabs do not function.

I can move the Yast Control Center window and any other program from the menu.

On my quad CPU usage, CPU2 is stuck at 100% and KSysGuard shows y2start at 25%.
RAM stays constant and does not go up.
