Clean install, long hang on startup?
I just did a clean install of Catalina on my 27" iMac 5k. Everything is fresh and minimal and the system runs great. But there is a very long hang on startup completely opening the Finder.
The machine starts up and I can use applications, but the Finder takes about 5-10 minutes to complete. I believe it is something to do with network activity, just a guess.
I remember having a similar issue many years ago and do not remember the solution if indeed is the same issue.
Once the Finder completes the system runs flawlessly.
Thanks for any help diagnosing this.
