Mar 8, 2016 11:16 AM in response to careyglennby dwb,Let me suggest two things: 1) start a new thread of your own rather than piggybacking on this one and 2) download and run EtreCheck so we can take a look at what you have going on with your computer. The EtreCheck program was written by a person who frequents the ASC site to help us diagnose problems.
I probably have the same Mac mini sitting on my office desk and I was quite disappointed when the IT fellows delivered it. My initial disappointment was caused by the fact that I ordered it with an SSD and it came with a 1TB hard drive. My second disappointment was how slow it booted. Not a whole lot different from yours - not quite as bad but still so. My third disappointment was how slow applications launched. That was largely why I ordered it with the SSD option. I grabbed a USB 3 enclosure from the IT closet and a spare SSD I had on my desk (I teach IT and programming at the local community college) and cloned the internal drive. About 45 minutes later I was happily running a very snappy little mini.
