Windows 11 Context menu items are loading slowly

stzan · Jun 25, 2025

The items in the Windows 11 context menu are loading slowly. The conext menu feels laggy. I tried deactivating some items but I cannot solve the problem.
It this normal? Any suggestions?

Try to uninstall your video driver, and reinstalling it again.

I already tried that althought it's not AMD. It's Intel Ultra 9.

There's the Registry modification method at this site:

Yet this might be a little risky. I am not too sure how well this method works. I'd wait for someone else to reply here and see their suggestions.

Hey Stzan,
How did that begin? Is it slower the more items you have displayed?
They are a couple of things that can be tried:
Of course change some values there:

Also Try this if you haven't :

And, the slow menu may be caused by OneDrive as well.

I already tried the performance trick.
I also disabled all the non microsoft shell extension today without any change.
I also tried disabling onedrive extension with no change.

I think this started since I updated to 24H2. The laptop is new, bought it 10/2024. Intel Ultra 9 with 32GB RAM. This is not normal.

Hello @stzan ,

This looks to be from slow loading app actions. Sometimes they load fast (most often not), and sometimes it takes two right clicks to load them.

After some testing I believe it's because of Kaspersky.
