my macbook pro takes 5 minutes to startup and i cant even put my password because the login screen is super slow

since I update my MacBook Pro 2017 becomes almost useless, the boot times are about 5min or more and once it boots the login screen is super slow, and every key that I press for my password stays pressed until I press delete on the key board, that makes my laptop useless. Once I finally put my password the laptop works normally

Hello and welcome to Apple Support Communities, rabdon578.


If we understand your post correctly, your MacBook Pro is starting up slowly and you're having trouble entering your user password because of the lag. We’d like to help.


First, try these resets:


How to reset the SMC of your Mac


Reset NVRAM or PRAM on your Mac


If this issue continues after those resets, let's do some testing to narrow down the issue.


Safe mode will tell us if the issue is related to a startup item or plugins, and sometimes corrects the issue. This article will tell you how: How to use safe mode on your Mac


If everything is working correctly in safe mode, but is not working when you get back to your user account, please check the section titled "If the issue doesn't continue in safe mode" for the next troubleshooting steps.


Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities. Take care.

Run the Apple Diagnostics to see if any hardware issues are detected.


To look for possible software issues (especially if Safe Mode works better) run EtreCheck and post the report here using the "Additional Text" icon which looks like a piece of paper. If you give EtreCheck "Full Disk Access", then a summary of the most recent system logs will also be included which may include clues.


Disconnect all external devices in case one of them is causing a problem.


Connect the charger directly to the laptop as some multi-port adapters, docks, and hubs may not allow the full power of the charger to reach the laptop.
