Try this

Reset SMC https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201295

Reset NVRAM https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204063

Turn on the Mac holding Shift to startup in Safe Mode. It's a bit longer boot because macOS does some maintenance under the hood that can solve some problems.

If it doesn't work, you should try a reinstall of macOS.

Try also run the Apple Hardware Test https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202731 and check if shows any errors.

Check if your HD is not failing. Maybe replace it with an SSD and you'll also get a lot faster machine.
