I can't tell much about the system with just the above information, but your CPU model i5-7200U reminds me of a laptop of mine with the same CPU/GPU that was also very slow for many months. I can't remember what fixed my laptop, but it seems to be working in Ubuntu 18.10 now.

Can you please run this command to collect a full system log:

  journalctl -b > journal.log

and this command to collect the kernel log:

  dmesg > dmesg.log

and attach both files here?

[Yulan (yulanl22)]

Hey1 I'm attaching both the files like you asked. Thanks for you time.

[Daniel van Vugt (vanvugt)]

Unfortunately those logs are full of probably irrelevant messages.

Please try:

  1. Reboot

  2. Do not run gnome-system-monitor at all.

  3. Start just one simple app that takes too long to start.

  4. Collect the above logs again.
