Is right click menu one too? After boot, it always takes like 5 seconds for it to show up, recurring times it takes <1 second (not instant). I run last gen ryzen somethingsomethingXD and 4070 so my PC can definitely run a context menu.
On windows 11 or windows 10?
The <win10 context menu is old and poorly designed. Each app that declares itself on the right click menu gets to hold up the entire menu for like 3 seconds each. So if you have one poorly designed app that can appear on that list your right click menu will be super slow. Try to go through the right click menu and disable each app that appears one by one until you find the culprit.
Windows has this official tool, if you go to the explorer tab and find .../contextMenuHandlers section you can easily disable them one by one but i haven't used it personally.
Win11 tried to fix this and moved to a different model but in doing so made the first level right click menu functionally useless.
Win11. I remember it being fine in Win10, though I didn't have that many applications there, now I should have even less though.
Maybe I'll look at what I have there now, in case I indeed have a misbehaving app.
