Mojave freezes and locks up (reopened)

Note: Since the OP of the related question marked it as resolved and I'm still experiencing the issue, I've created this duplicate question to keep the thread going since the fix provided in the other thread did not work for me.


The issue:

I'm running 10.14.5 and I experience frequent full UI freezes. This does not happen on my home Macbook Pro 15", but still happens frequently on my work computer (15-inch, 2017 MBP 2.9 GHz i7, 16 GB, Radeon 560/Intel 630 w/500GB SSD). Though the system will become responsive again after a minute or two, it will generally freeze again soon thereafter, and generally needs a hard reboot once it starts happening. This is a really big issue, and any help would be truly appreciated!

Boot into Safe Mode and then reboot normally. Any improvement?

NOTE:  Safe Mode boot can take up to 10 minutes as it's doing some system cache cleaning, volume verifying and directory repairing.
