+1 for activating keys. I noticed this problem since the May 4th update. The problem is like this.
Problem persists on both my Windows 10 OSes (host and Virtual Machine) and resetting Steam Client does not solve the problem. Sent a few codes to a friend and he didn't have such problem, but he has a small library (~50 games).
I was checking out Reddit but didn't see anyone else posting similar problems, so I was not able to determine if this is a global issue or not.

Exactly the same as in your screenshot happens here.

No, but rather the regular May 4th update (built on Apr. 29th 2016)

Same here. After activating keys Steam hogs up one core and hangs for 20-30 seconds.

If you make store purchases to add games there may also be lags, just happened to me also. So I might be changing the wording to "adding any Steam game" to include both key activation and completed store purchase (adding non-Steam shortcut doesn't cause the problem for me yet).

New beta seems to have fixed it. Just activated two keys and the client wasn't freezing.

Anyone else noticing long lag/load times when navigating in the Steam desktop app, especially when switching between sections (eg from Store to Library) since the latest update?
