End of report

None of these five steps helped. It is something borked in the one account that beach balls for fifteen minutes or so after logging in to the desktop. After fifteen minutes (or so), the beach balls and slowness disappear and I can work in the account. The other account works properly after logging in to the desktop (no beach balls or slowness).

What is the easiest way to move data from the borked account to the working account?

Thank you for your suggestions, and have a nice day.

I was logged in to the problem account--but it was working because I could not open Etrecheck until after the beach balling went away. So it appears to be something with that account and not the other one.

Have a nice day.
