Hello Mac Forum/OS Group,
Lately, my morning routine Startup of my iMac has been stalling, desktop doing nothing and running so slow that trying to launch any app, it just sits with a spinning beach ball. This can last from five minutes to indefinitely. I end of having to Force Quit or cut the power and Restart the system a few more times to clear things up so by the fourth or fifth Startup, my desktop finally operates properly. My ESET Cyber Security app is set to be ON automatically after Startup. Are Startup apps getting in the way at the system Startup? What might be going on to cause this problem the past month.
Thanks,
Peter
