As the image above shows, the first right-click on the file loads for a few seconds, and subsequent quick clicks have no delay. But wait a while and then click again, and there's a delay again.

I tried turning off Windows Integration, but there is still a delay every time I hold shift and right click. I also tried disabling all contextmenu items with ShellExView, and it still delays inside DO.

I am trying out opus13 and still have this problem. Disabling items within ShellExView doesn't seem to affect the display in opus.

Try the context\_menu\_debug steps from here:

> Summary: This FAQ helps if Directory Opus crashes, exits or uses high CPU when you open the right-click context menu for files or folders. These problems are usually caused by bugs in 3rd party components and this FAQ contains steps for finding and u…

That will usually indicate which part of the context menu is taking a long time.

Although the gif above doesn't look that slow to me. If things are slow only on the first right-click, it's probably due to shell extensions DLLs being loaded for the first time (which also means they're probably being virus scanned).

Thank you for your prompt response.  
There is a delay of about one to two seconds when clicking for the first time, but Windows Explorer does not have this issue.  
I followed the tutorial to debug, and I think it's caused by Kaspersky. It's probably because of Kaspersky's virus scan. However, even though I disabled all Kaspersky-related items in ShellExView, Kaspersky still loads when I right-click.  
Is there any way to make opus the same as Windows Explorer?
