Apps Extremely Slow to Start
I have a Macbook Pro 13" Late 2011 Model.
For the most part it runs great, but Apps are PAINFULLY slow to open. Even something simple like Word or Chrome will take somewhere between 1-3 minutes to open.
Once an app or browser is up and running, it runs perfectly smooth and fast. But opening is always excruciating.
Also, when I try to close an app, most of them will instantly become unresponsive most of the time (if I right click on the icon in the dock, it'll say "(not responding,)") and I'll either have to wait a minute or so for it to close, or I'll have to force quit.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 10.12
