Time from entering password to desktop shows

Recently my MacBook Pro M2, 2022 OS Ventura 13.2. 1 has been very slow to load up the desktop. It normally would only be a few seconds from I enter the password to desktop showing... now it takes 37 seconds. How can I get it back to a few seconds?

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 13.2

13.3.1 updated. Eset and SurfShark uninstalled. I haven't used them in a long time. They must have transferred over from my old MacBook when I set this one up. Desktop appeared within 1 second. Thank You for you help.

It will present the Desktop faster if it is not cluttered with files and folders. Other than Macintosh HD and my Time Machine drive, I have moved all other files from my Desktop into a form of folder organization within my Documents folder. The time to present the Desktop after entering my password changed to instantly.


I am using Ventura 13.3.1 (a) on an M2 Mac mini Pro with 32GB RAM. Consider updating your operating system now, or wait awhile until 13.4 becomes available, which won't be long now.
