Windows 10 version 1809 update - Slow Context New Submenu & Menu Items Missing

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone else has this problem.

After the 1809 update I've found that all the PCs I have applied it to so far have the same symptom of very slow access to the New submenu in Right Click Context menus. It seems when you first open the right click menu and scroll to the New submenu there will be a long delay before the submenu opens which freezes the Context menu. Once the New submenu opens you can roll the mouse cursor on and off the submenu and it will close and re-open quickly, but as soon as you allow the Context menu to close and try the re-open it the problem returns. It appears to be some problem with background enumeration of the menu. 

I also notice on a couple of machines the New submenu now contains far fewer items after the 1809 update. Some of the systems have a lot of software installed so usually have a long list in the New submenu, others are basically vanilla content machines for browsing and just have the defaults with Office 365.

This happens over the desktop or in any open Explorer window.

The five machines I have upgraded are from a variety of manufacturers(Dell, Acer and Asus) using different processors(new and old), graphic cards(AMD, Nvidia and Intel), etc., etc., so it seems it is not associated with any specific hardware. I have had no other obvious problems with the 1809 update.

    I had the same issue. After installing from scratch (clean install) latest 1809 (2019 JAN updated) the problem is not present any more... so only updated systems seem to face the this annoying issue.

    If I was Microsoft I would be very embarrassed; this issue must be affecting thousand of people and it's been active for almost 2 months now with no fix!!!

    I have the problem on several devices now, Dell, Acer and Asus, as they have caught up with the initial Insider machine they all developed the slow context menu problem.

    I've even tried uninstalling any programs that add a context menu New item so that there are no extra enumerations yet the problem persists so it must be OS related.
