Ever tried Glary Utilities?

https://www.glarysoft.com/downloads/

It’s free version will analyze your system and your hard drive, especially, and will make suggestions for cleaning out unused stuff that slows the system down.

I have used it for well over 20 years.

I also use CCleaner:

Another free version that works well, and has for 20+ YEARS.

There are also what they call ‘Professional’ versions that cost a little, and do more stuff, but I have never needed them. But if I ever go into business fixing peoples computers I would!................

Thank you! I’ll give these a try.

Glary got the boot time down from 4:45 to 47 seconds. That is a significant improvement!!

Many Thanks!!
