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
Try booting into Safe Mode then restart normally. Sometimes that will fix anomalies.

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.
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.
Not sure if I have got this right. Hopefully this is what you asked for.
Tried that. Took even longer to show desktop in safe mode. Still taking too long to show desktop.
You weren't suppose to stay in Safe Mode. :)
Install EtreCheck and post the report. Allow Full Disk Access.
Use the Additional Text icon to paste in the report.
Perhaps something will reveal itself.
Logged into safe mode then shut down. Restarted as normal. Still taking too long to show desktop.
Yes. You posted it correctly. It takes some time to review the report. Just taking a quick glance, there are a number of issues.
First you should uninstall ESET & SurfShark. You should also update to Ventura 13.3.1. After that's done. post back.
You're Welcome.
