I asked about my slow to boot (and sometimes slow to shut down) pc a while back now and have htop installed. I should have asked this then but which bit of the info it gives me do I need to give you lot in order to diagnose the problem?
OK, You need to start HTOP whilst it's being slow. You can either start a command prompt from the menu system, but I think the best way would be to CTRL-ALT-F2 to bring up a full screen text console. You'll need to log in using your usual user name and password.

Sorry it's been an absolute age since I said anything about this. I can’t log in while it's booting to check but I can raise htop directly afterwards.
(At the moment CPU 2% - 4% and Memory c 648.0 of 991.6 MiB I'll check again though. I have checked the Startup Applications and there's barely anything listed.)

Well, if it's being slow and you run htop, if the processor (CPU) usage is high, then the top one or two tasks will show you what's causing the slowness.
I'm still monitoring it for any glimpse of a clue. The only one so far is python3 which causes a short peak (I think it was around 53% last time but it went by so fast I couldn't write it down) and then vanishes from the htop log.
