Slow context menu or File Explorer is freezing, lagging, and not opening in Windows 11
Microsoft has created a new context menu experience for Windows 11 and most important or frequently used options now appear as buttons at the top of the menu. However, Windows 11’s new context menu is slow, File Explorer is freezing, lagging, hangs and doesn’t open some time.
There’s a delay of 1/2 second to 1 minute most times, but sometimes you can see it start to open, then flicker and close itself.
The context menu has a issue that causes a delay when you right-click on start button on the desktop or Explorer.
The delay is more noticeable on any devices and some users have been able to fix it by restarting the Explorer.exe
