EtreCheckPro version: 6.8.2 (68031) Report generated: 2023-10-06 14:39:54 Download EtreCheckPro from https://etrecheck.com Runtime: 4:53 Performance: Good Problem: Computer is too slow Description: My Mac has 8 GB 2667 MHz DDR4 RAM and has 3.7 GHz 6-Core Intel Core i5 processor and 839.27 GB HDD space is available of 2.12 TB total stora ge capacity. Ever since I upgraded my Mac OS to Sonoma 14.0, I am very much frustra ted. It takes about 3-5 minutes to show up the desktop icons and there after a minute or two to make the computer usable. Once I start using it, there is lot of intollerable latency in indexing and the search r esults to appear. I tried following basic things but proved to be useless: Finder-Go-Press option key + open Library - delete contents of the fol ders Cashes, Cookies, Safari, saved application state - Then log out of ma c then login to empty the trash bin. I also tried running in safe mode and then to regular mode. What is the solution to it? Do I have to wait for the further upgrade or live with it for ever? Major Issues: None Minor Issues: These issues do not need immediate attention but they may indicate future problems or opportunities for improvement.
