Whenever I boot into macOS and log in everything is slow and laggy. I log in and for the first few seconds all I can see is the dock and a grey wallpaper. After a bit the wallpaper finally loads and my widgets start to appear but they look white until quite a bit maybe a minute or two has passed and then that's when they fully load. After this I would assume everything has loaded because some time has passed but nope the animations are still laggy and opening things takes a while. I don't know why this is happening because after I leave the laptop alone for a bit (around 3 minutes or more) everything finally starts being butter smooth like it's supposed to be. I'd like to fix this because it's quite annoying having to wait for my laptop to stop lagging. I increased the VRAM to 2 gigs thinking it was a VRAM issue but that hasn't fixed the problem. I've attached my OC folder down below, Thank you.

Hello Guest. Before you post check the Troubleshooting guide here, Dortania Troubleshooting
You have a DeviceProperties entry for your Broadcom WiFi module in your config.plist. This is not recommended when using NootedRed.kext.
You have kexts present and enabled in your setup for both Broadcom and Intel WiFi/BT cards. This shouldn’t be the case. As the two devices and their kexts will clash in macOS.
Which laptop do you use?
Which CPU and AMD IGPU does it contain?
Does it contain a discrete GPU?
If yes, how are you disabling the dGPU so it doesn’t interfere with macOS?
Which WiFi/BT card is installed?

I have an ASUS Vivobook M1502IA
It contains the Ryzen 5 4600H and for the iGPU I think it contains the Radeon RX Vega 6 integrated graphics
It does not have a discrete GPU just integrated graphics
I have an Intel AX210 installed after I switched out my Mediatek wifi card
I used patches to get native WIFI working so that could be why I have kexts and the entry for Broadcom WiFi modules and I used the intel bluetooth kexts for bluetooth. Everything works fine even iServices except for that weird bug I'm getting

Remove all entries, patches, kexts etc. for the Broadcom WiFi & Bluetooth devices from your OC EFI.
Except BlueToolFixup.kext, which your Intel Bluetooth device will need.
Make sure you don’t have AirportItlwm.kext installed as it won’t work. You need to use Itlwm.kext & the Heliport app for your Intel WiFi.
