This forum has helped me with multiple problems before, I hope we can solve this one, too.

My HP Pavillion x360 takes increasingly longer to wake up from Energy Saver and Sleep Modes. Although the monitor lights up quickly, it takes 5-20 minutes before it becomes responsive. Excel and Zoom can take 30-60 minutes to become usable if they were left open. After these lengthy warmups, the computer works reasonably. However, there are delays when using Excel, particularly when switching back to it after switching away from it.

Thanks in advance for any and all help!

First guess is you either have a failing drive or something is running in the background, hogging resources.

To prove the later, reboot the PC into Safe Mode, since Safe Mode only loads the core essential services, if your problem is caused by something hogging the processor or hard drive, it shouldn't happen in Safe Mode.

If that works out to be true, you can then do a Clean Boot, progressively turning on each software one at a time.
See resource here; https://pchelpforum.net/resources/clean-boot-versus-safe-mode.227/

But the slowness you describe sounds like a drive issue to me.
Let's scan for errors. Try these from an elevated command prompt;
  • chkdsk c: /r
  • sfc /scannow
 
I’m not clear on what to do first or how. I don’t see an option to restart in Safe mode.

I have rebooted and opened Task Manager, then opened applications one at a time to study the use of resources. Excel works fine when it’s the only program open. Explorer uses a lot of resources, even when there’s only one blank page open. Antimalware Service Executable is often at the top of the list.

Let's scan for errors. Try these from an elevated command prompt;
  • chkdsk c: /r
  • sfc /scannow
Do I do this from Safe Mode or from regular?

Thanks for your help.
 
Those commands can be done whenever you want, they don't care :)

Easiest way into Safe Mode is to hold down the Shift key as you click Restart (from Start then the Power icon).
 
How to boot your computer into Safe Mode

Create and run batch file.

In Normal Mode.
Open a notepad and copy the entire content of the code box below.
Do not copy the word code!
Paste the txt into the notepad. Save the file to your desktop as 123.bat
