I cannot open most apps after and pre Sequoia 15.2 upgrade and a reinstall of the OS too. It's back to being slooooow very much like Sonoma did. It feels like tow years of fighting the Mac, something we always seem to be doing with a PC!
iMac 21.5″, macOS 15.2
Is the user using a iMac 2019 that was previously running Sonoma that was sluggish prior to updating to Sonoma ?
A 2019 iMacs can come with a Fusion Drive or also an ALL SSD Drive configuration
Fusion Drives are good for Additional Storage but at the expense of a negative performs hit especially when running under Sonoma or Sequoia
These versions of macOS are really specifically engineered to run at tip top performance on SSD Drives
Anyways, all this information would show up in the Etrecheck report if you care to run and share this report
Post back the Full Report - copy and paste - >>>> using the Additional Text Icon <<<<
That slowness shows on iPhone too whenever Apple are working toward an OS upgrade! Why not deliver it and only update while devices are on standby for that country during nighttime.
I have posted the Etrecheck Report as you suggested.
Thank you for suggesting this.

Jonah

Uninstall the two items mentioned earlier according to the developers' instructions.

For the software mentioned you'd do the following search(es):

2 - Name contains surf shark
Any files that are found can be dragged from the search results window to the Desktop or Trash bin in the Dock for deletion.
FAF can search areas that Spotlight can't like invisible folders, system folders and packages.
If you get warnings that the file can't be deleted because it is in use or used by another app boot into Safe Mode according to How to use safe mode on your Mac and delete from there.
Note: if you have a wireless keyboard with rechargeable batteries connect it with its charging cable before booting into Safe Mode. This makes it act as a wired keyboard as will assure a successful boot into Safe Mode.
