Q: mac mini slow opening preferences app

Hy guys.

 

My father recently (a month ago) bought a mac mini (late 2014 basic config.) but it seems very very slow.

 

I read that there's an issue with some apps like Office 2016 (i.e. word and excel) and that they're very slow in opening.

 

But i've the same issue with preference app... it takes 15/20 sec to open.

 

Is this correct? the mac is brand new!

 

any idea?

 

thank u

    This is not normal behavior.

     

    Try Safe Boot mode by holding down the Shift key at startup. Safe Boot is quite slow because the OS performs a bunch of cleanup and verification tasks, so give it time. After you're completely logged in, restart normally.
