How to troubleshoot extremely slow MacBook Pro?

Hi, I am looking for someone to check my Mac which has become incredibly slow in opening applications and operations. Maybe the only solution is to find someone who can check my mac with team viewer. I have simply not enough experience to do it myself.

I have a MacBook Pro, 2.3 GHz 8-Core Intel Core i9 running on macOS Tahoe 26.2 and 16GB Memory.

HELP!!

No one here will contact you directly. Contact Apple Support or take your computer to an authorized service center for inspection or post an etrecheck report here so that we can see what may be affecting the speed of your computer.

Is this the 2019 Intel MacBook Pro 16" model? Did the slowness start suddenly right after the upgrade to Tahoe (what were you running before Tahoe)? Or if not, was anything else installed just before the slowness became apparent?
