    iMac running slow after software updates

    by info1524737557 ·

    Does anyone know how to speed up your mac once you’ve run system updates? I have gotten in to the habit of not doing updates now because every time it runs slow for a day or so. It’s pretty frustrating and I hope there is a way to avoid the granny speed afterwards.
    Windows never used to do this.

      You might have too many apps running
      Solution: Close running apps to speed up macOS
      When your Mac is running slow because of app overload, you need to find the ones that cause the problem.

      Follow these steps:

      Navigate to Applications > Utilities > Activity Monitor
      Click on the Memory tab
      Click on the Memory column to sort the memory hogs from worst to least

      What MacOS are you running?

      There could be several reasons why your iMac is slowing down:

      1: Macintosh HD Space running out
      2: Low RAM space
      3: Traditional storage drive

      I suggest you remove all the junk files from the disk follow the below steps –

      1-Uninstall the unused Apps from Mac
      2-Move large files to an external drive
      3-Empty the trashbin

      Further, I recommend you to upgrade the RAM and your internal drive to an SSD.
