Screeching sound under the hood when starting and slowing to a stop

What is your question?

I hear a loud screeching sound when first starting the vehicle and it sometimes recurs when slowing down to a stop. It appears to slow down the speed that I can move off from a standing start when it is happeneing as opposed to when it is quiet.

the most common area to look at first and the easiest is drive belt or accessory belt tension or wear out.
