Slow drive performance - Latitude e6430
This system has always taken a long time to fully boot, with slow performance after boot.
From the start of boot to the time that I can begin to interact with the desktop is over 5 minutes.
Application launches are also quite slow.
I've ran the plethora of Dell diags - no errors.
I've run disk cleanup.
I've performed a complete defrag.
I'm running Norton Security Online (from Xfinity) and have deep scanned the entire system - all clean.
Hard drive is a WD SATA 300, so the system and drive interfaces match design speeds.
System has a Core-i7-3520M CPU, 8GB RAM.
Drive has over 80% free space.
Any thoughts on what could be slowing my system down?

Try these steps first:
First thing is to do a “Disk Cleanup”
Check everything except “Delivery Optimization Files”
Click on “OK” then “Delete Files”
Next do a “Disk Defragmentation and Optimize”
Click on “Optimize”
If an SSD is installed you do not need to run “Defrag”
Next go to “Advanced System Settings”
In the “Performance” box click on “Settings”
Click on “Adjust for Best Performance”
Then click on “Apply”
Next click on the “Advanced” tab.
Make sure “Programs” is selected in the “Processor Scheduling” box.
In the “Virtual Memory” box click on “Change”
Click on “Custom Size”
Set “Initial Size (MB)” larger than the “Recommended:” size.
Then set the “Maximum Size (MB)” larger than the “Initial Size (MB)”
Click on “SET” and then “OK”
REBOOT:
Best regards,
