Slow startup in MB Pro

Hello,


I have a 2012 MB Pro, and am having more and more trouble with start from either sleep or start from restart or complete shut down. It is slow, slow, slow. I've checked the startup items showing, and there are none. I still have OSX 10.10.6, since High Sierra breaks Adobe CS6.


I have had this issue since Yosemite.


Thanks for your help,

George

MacBook Pro, macOS Sierra (10.12.6), 16 GB RAM
