Stalling multiple times after waking from sleep mode

When I wake my computer up from sleep mode, it will start up quickly as normal, but after about 30 seconds of normalcy, all open applications will stall and I cannot click anything for about a minute. Then, everything will come back and function normally for about a minute. The cycle of stalling and coming back happens 3 to 4 times every time I wake my laptop from sleep mode, which means that the first 10 minutes after waking from sleep is basically useless.

Does anyone know how I can fix this? It has been a real blockage in my productivity lately, and is unacceptable.

My laptop specs:
HP Spectre 14 x360
14th Gen Intel Core Ultra 7 155H
Intel Arc Graphics
16GB RAM
1TB SSD
Windows 11 Home - Version 24H2

    Use Task Manager to identify processes that spike CPU or disk usage after sleep. Disable or uninstall any unnecessary startup programs or background apps that might interfere.
