Thanks to Jack-19…
It may be wise to run SMART Utility to check the drives' health.
Do Apps work?
You haven't enabled iCloud Drive have you?
A long time after boot the dock is shown and apps (like safari) works with extremely slow response. When I try to relaunch finder nothing happens and when I try to open downloads I get a message that finder is not running
I have checked the disks with smart utility. No errors found.
No, I have not.
