Troubleshooting a Slow Mac:
I. Reset your SMC and your NVRAM:
(Applies to Intel-Based Macs only): Sometimes changes are made to the system and then settings (i.e. for macOS) become manipulated, in the technically. So, reset both on your Mac. See if it now works as intended.
II. Boot into Safe Mode:
Boot into Safe Mode (Hold down the Shift key upon boot). See if this still occurs. In Safe Mode, items open by default and login items do not open after login, with all caches are set aside. See if it then works. Then, restart the Mac, and log in to the same user as you are in now. See if it now works. Logging into Safe Mode may fix a few things.
III. Rid of Running Items:
Boot into Safe Mode, and rid of whatever is not needed as a Login Item
A. First check. the list of Login Items:
B. Then, Check Force Quit:
See if an application is not responding. If that is the case, Force Quit it.
IV. Verify your Drive: Repair your Disk in Disk Utility
Go Here: If your Mac Starts Up to an Apple Logo or Progress Bar - Apple Support
See if your Hard drive is Failing:

We need to see what all is running, a report from this will not display any personal info...
EtreCheck is a FREE simple little diagnostic tool to display the important details of your system configuration and allow you to copy that information to the Clipboard. It is meant to be used with Apple Support Communities to help people help you with your Mac. It will not display any personal info.
Pastebin is a good place to paste the whole report if you capture the URL while there…
Whew, they've changed pastebin & made it harder, but after pasting in, click Create new paste button, then Embed button, then copy the URL...
