Improving Mac performance with CleanMyMac

Now that you have asked the question...

CleanMyMac will not make your Mac run faster, and very likely will interfere with its best performance. Stay away from it. CMM does nothing that macOS itself doesn't do. Many veteran users here in the Community liken CMM to malware.

We might be able to help figure out what’s going on with your Mac. It could be anything from an unintentional malware installation to a hardware bottleneck or failure. Some things are fairly easy to fix.

Please run an EtreCheck evaluation of your Mac and post the generated report back here in a reply. EtreCheck is a safe and highly regarded utility from a trusted developer and respected ASC contributor. The diagnostic report will not include any personal info. It simply gathers specifics about hardware performance and installed software that might be in conflict with the OS.

Please navigate to EtreCheck.com and download the free version. Be sure to Allow Full Disk Access when you install the app. Once you’ve run the app and created your report please post it with your reply to this message. 

Please note you must upload the full report. To see how, please click >  How to use Add Text when posting… EtreCheck Report.

We’ll use your EtreCheck report to look for the things that may be causing your problem and advise how to correct them.
