Lagging Login:
Aside from just being an old device, there’s a boatload that can be causing this. So, three things for starters. Report back if anything here helps…
A. Boot in Safe Mode:
While in Safe Mode, Login Items do no open at log in, and caches are managed. So, hold down the shift key upon boot, and see if you can get in that way.
B. See How Much Hard Drive Space Remains:
With little free space on your hard drive remaining, it can most certainly overheat, and/or lag.
What To Do:
- Boot: into Recovery Mode
- Select: Disk Utiltiy
- Select: [the Drive]
- View: the remaining space
C. Run First Aid:
While in Disk Utility in Recovery Mode, select the hard drive, and then click Fist Aid. Let it run and see if any items are found that are to be of issue and are fixed.
