Whenver I click the virtual desktop icon on the taskbar, it takes a very long time to come up, even though my specs are way over par the recommended minimum of MS. And even when it comes up, transfering windows from one desktop to another is an extremely laggy process.

Is anybody else experiencing this?

I have exactly the same problem.Switching virtual desktops in Windows 11 is painfully slow!I have assigned a mousebutton to change desktop forward and backwords.In W10 vitual desktops were blazing fast,but in W11 slow as a snail.

Did the problem occur almost right after you had upgraded/updated something in Windows and then disappeared after a day or two?
