IMPORTANT:

Before running Etrecheck assign Full Disk Access to Etrecheck so that it can get additional information from the Console and log files for the report:

Then we can examine the report and see if we can determine the root of the problem.

Thanks, I copied and paste but it would not let me send. The report is over 5000 characters

Under Clean up I deleted Microsoft update agent and assistant. Don't know if I should have but it seemed to help. Startup took about 1 and 1/2 minutes for the dashboard to come up and about 45 seconds for the full desktop which is much better than previous.


I guess I could try copying the report again and sending you 1/2 at a time but I don't want to burden you


Thanks

Vince
