slow booting MacBook pro
My MacBook Pro Late 2011 has been booting slowly ever since the last update to High Sierra 10.13.02. I also have a problem with the mouse touch pad freezing up. To get it to release I have to hit the power button quickly. I ran an ETreCheck and the report is attached. What do you think I should do. I already have 8 GB of ram so I am at the max on ram. I have over 640 GB hard drive space left. I don't want to buy a new computer since apple no longer makes a 17inch screen. Any suggestions?
EtreCheck version: 3.4.6 (460)
