This MacBook Pro (Late 2013) has been working well for last 5 years when I purchased it on 2014. No problem until a recent update was installed.

Currently, it is running macOS 10.15.7. However, all apps are running very slow even it takes a while to display app icons in Application folder, not to mention using apps like Excel and PS. At first, I thought it was the problem of free disk space. I did delete a bunch of large files and currently, 25 GB free space available. After doing this, no much help!

Anyone has the same issue as me? How to fix it except for a clean reinstall?

p.s it has only 4GB RAM and 128 GB SSD.
