Yes. Software.

No doubt you have been installing allsorts of programs since purchase as all of us do. Some (probably all) of them will have attached themselves to your OS, desktop and startup. It's unavoidable. You can reduce the impact with a dedicated boot SSD, but even that will slow with the gradual insertion of more stuff.

The solution is to go back to the original state... Less stuff.

That is a question for a different thread/topic/post and will require full system specs including case, timeline and potentially case cleanlieness regime.
