I am working on backup, it takes long because i have alot of pictures and videos. Then i will try to switch launcher, and if that doesnt help i will factory reset. Thank you for your help.

Another thing; to kinda side with Samsung here a bit without sounding like I'm trying to suck them off.

Things just happen; happens to a lot of OEMs devices, rarely iOS due to limited devices but it does happen; which is why I won't go back to Huawei.

Samsung has a range of devices, with varying sources for different regions and unfortunately your device has developed an issue somewhere in the OS, a fresh reinstall will most likely fix the issue you're having, as the update is just an OTA on-top of the existing OS you have installed.

All I would recommend from this point onwards is to frequently perform back-ups every once in a while to ensure your data is preserved incase you do need to reinstall your OS.

I understand, i've been using samsung devices for as long as i remember. Ended up doing factory reset now everything works fine. I'm just annoyed it happened on my last two devices.
