To much cpu for kernel task and Windows server

This is a classic question: kernel task and window server process is drag to much the cpu during boot.


At the moment my boot time is about 5 minutes ( terrific!!!).


I disallow purge the index of spotlight but this isn't the reason.

I've already clean the PRAM and delete the 25% of unnecessary file for take more free space on the disk.


I talk of my mac mini late 2012 with i5 and 16 gb of RAM with mojave latest version!


The major problem that entre check find was these:
