The reason the Windows 11 menu changed was to solve for this exact issue.

I don't have anything that hooks into the Windows 11-style menu though. The only additional options in the "Show more options" / Windows 10-style menu are Nvidia stuff which comes with the PC, and Visual Studio, which is Microsoft. This is not caused by some crappy 3rd party app.

The new menu is faster, it takes about .5 to 1 second to appear. Pretty great compared to 10 seconds for the old style menu. Still a very noticeable lag for a simple task on a top-shelf Windows laptop.

To be fair the delays get better when you repeatedly open the context menu. It seems to get everything cached and then it loads in ~0.5 second. But it loses this speed when you don't open the menu for a while.
