After upgrading my 21.5" late 2013 8 GB RAM iMac to Catalina (10.15.1). It runs very slowly. All apps take much longer to launch. Some apps just never launch even though they are supposed to be compatible. Any suggestions?

I downloaded the current version of Etrecheck Pro from the Etrecheck website.
I launched it and it started to run, I let it run overnight, the next morning it was still in the middle of running. I quit it at the point.

A properly functioning drive should complete in ~ 3 minutes.
Hard drive failure would be a good guess.
In or out of warranty you can get a free over the counter 'Apple Service Diagnostics' test /assessment

To get a good look at your System config. for conflicts or issues, you can run this utility http://etrecheck.com
If you need help interpreting the report you can post it here in its entirety in the "Additional Text" box in the editing toolbar below, in your reply.
You can set its preference to "Allow full Disk Access", with this you get a digest of issues from the last 7 days that are saved in your system.
A properly functioning drive should complete in ~ 3 minutes. Marginal blocks that must be re-read multiple times in order to get good data will add extra run-time.
