Description

It takes a long time to open folders (save as) in Firefox. It takes a long time to open menus (right mouse button) in Opera. It all started with the upgrade to the Windows 10 2004 feature update.

I use the current version 5.41.2, Windows 10 2004 (Build 19041.329) Thanks!

Research direction
Reproduce the issue using a clean sandbox profile. Use Process Monitor (procmon) to trace Explorer.exe calls and identify the bottleneck. Compare behavior between Windows versions (e.g., 1909 vs 2004). Check if issue is related to file system redirection or display drivers.
