There is not one right answer for everyone. We all have different needs.
Do you keep sensitive information out there?
Consider visiting this site, and downloading and executing EtreCheck and publishing the resulting report on this thread.
EtreCheck is safe, and issues a report that can be very valuable in identifying your issue.
Thanks for posting that result.
It looks to me as if your issue is shown under "Disk Information" -- note the "converting" shown on the "encrypted ..." line.
You have somehow set up encryption on your disk. You must be doing some change to/from encryption. This takes resources - and lots of them.
It will pass - it's not a permanent resource hog, but you have to get through this conversion process.
Try starting in safe mode as described here.
Try safe mode if your Mac doesn't finish starting up - Apple Support
This will run some additional hardware diagnostics for you.
It started up after a couple of tries but is super slow! What should I do next?
The FileVault encryption is completed, should I leave it that way or its better to disable it? I've read that for some people it's better without the encry
My MacBook Pro wont start up
