WebGUI unaccessible for 3-4 minutes --> when modyfing "Interfaces"

[AES777GCM]

Okay - so in your case - the browser has an impact and everything else worked fine for you. That's weird but okay.

As I mentioned in the thread, my both Systems! I gave a try [with 24.7.x] behave the same: After Applying any switch action in INTERFACE SECTION you can see that save is done, but instead of "coming back after doing his things" the WebGui Server hangs up for 3-4 minutes.

In this state of lighttpd task being "locked" you can't even reset this task. I have two choices then: Wait for 3-4 minutes; somehow the task is then being killed automatically and comes back or killing the "stalled" lighttpd manually.

The Browser could not be an impact for me in this time.

"locked" means your lighttpd is in the process of already being reconfigured. No idea why it's taking so long. You could add

log_msg("my message here");

commands to https://github.com/opnsense/core/blob/master/src/etc/inc/plugins.inc.d/webgui.inc#L137-L174

My guess is lighttpd doesn't stop or start and hangs the PHP script which keeps the lock over the lifetime of the PHP script. I will not speculate over where it may hang. You'll find it if you want to and can report back.
