My iMac 2019 with macOS Sonoma is extremely slow
I have been having continued problems with this for a while now. I previously did a reinstall of Sonoma OS and a recovery of my back up via Migration Assistant. The problem has returned on start up and eventually once signed in the Mac is so slow even when nothing is opened. I have removed the two items in Start Up and also switched off items running in the background. The mouse and keyboard randomly disconnect and re connect.I have created a new User but the issue still exists. I have started in safe mode still a problem.
Done first aid on the hard drive and diagnostic check.
The Macis 2019 3.7g
Radeon Pro 580x 8 Gb
Mem 8GB
HD use is approx 25 % utilised.
My main use is microsoft office including outlook .
I have removed all cables and printer connections so the Mac is in a basic form.
My option for a repair by an authorised repairer or Apple Store is limited based on where I live .
I am increasingly thinking it is a hardware issue or even a failing HD.
Any suggestions would be really appreciated
