Ventura Slow boot up

Not experiencing any issue on Venture and have upGraded 2 Apple Silicon computers from Monterey 12.6.1 to Ventura 13.0

1 - Restart in Safe Mode. This will perform a Disk Repair, clear cache files and only load Apple Software, extensions and fonts. The boot up will be slow and can take some time - Normal.

2 - Does the issue present in this mode ?

3 - Sometimes a Safe Boot followed by a Normal Boot will just put things right.

4 - If not - there could be something in the main User Account playing up. To further isolate this - Set up users, guests, and groups on Mac. Then log out of the Main User account and log into the dummy account and test again if the issue persists.

5 - If the issue is present in the dummy account - then, this appears to be a System Wide issue on the computer.

6 - Download the Application Etrecheck directly from the Developer.

The application is free or paid from added features. 

It will take a Snap Shot -  both the hardware and software.

 The Report will Not Reveal Any Personal Information.

Very much agree with Santa Toad ( aka @Old Toad )

On the newer Mac download and run Etrecheck.  Copy and paste the results into your reply. Etrecheck is a diagnostic tool that was developed by one of the most respected users here in the ASC and recommended by Apple Support  to provide a snapshot of the system and help identify the more obvious culprits that can adversely affect a Mac's performance.

I tried earlier to reinstall ventura but that didn't help.

Now i created dummy account logged in with it and had the same issue.

Same thing when i boot in safe mode.

you think i have to format and re install ventura?

A - This is an option of last resort but if that is what one believes is best for this machine - proceed

A- If going that route, suggest do not use Setup Assist and Migrate from Older Computer to a Pristine and Virginal installation.

A - Going so may just Re-Introduce the existing issue right back into the computer

A - IMHO - it would be best to only install new application etc Directly from the Developer or the Apple Apps Store.

A - One can always recover Personal Data later via a Time Machine Backup

I was having the same problem with slow boot up taking nearly 2 minutes. Uninstalled Surfshark and problem sorted. Thank you 🙏

Hi, this isn't happening to you alone. If it happens again, try disabling Filevault and provide feedback. (After that you can re-enable it if you need, at least you'll know what's causing the lag). Best of luck.

I had the same problem with my M2; tried to reinstall Ventura and got no result; erased everything once more e installed manually some app (not all of them) did not work; turned filevault off;;did not work; erased everything once more and returned to Monterey..problem solved,

There must be something wrong with Ventura

After Insstalling Monterey did the user use Step Asset to migrate things back from a TM Backup.

If that was done - what every issues existed at the time the TM Backup was performed would have been re-Introduced back into the computer.

That would have effectively Negated the Monterey clean insatllation.

THen, when upGrading to Venture the newly Re-Introduced Issues would have carried through to Ventura

To prevent future issues after a reinstall only install apps one at a time with a restart in between. If you encounter a login delay you can then identify which app is causing it. Also, avoid antivirus and cleanup apps as they can cause problems.
