This time, we will show you how to change the display speed of submenus in the context menu in Windows 10 and Windows 11.
A context menu is a menu that appears when you right-click on the desktop or a file.
Normally, submenus are displayed 400 milliseconds after the mouse cursor hovers over the menu name marked with a ">" symbol.
Comparison after changing display speed
Typical setting: 400 milliseconds
With the normal settings, there is a slight delay after you place the mouse cursor over it.
So what if we set it to 50 milliseconds?
If you set it to 50 milliseconds, the submenu will appear almost as soon as you hover the mouse cursor over it.
So what happens if you set it to 1000 milliseconds (1 second)?
1000 milliseconds (1 second) is too long a gap and difficult to use.
If you increase the submenu display speed, the perceived speed will increase, so please give it a try.

1. Press Windows key + R to open Run, type "regedit" and press Enter.
2. The Registry Editor will open, so open the following key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop3. With the "Desktop" key selected, double-click the string value "MenuShowDelay" in the right column.
4. Enter the desired number of milliseconds in the Value data (default is 400) and click OK.
"0" is the fastest, but if it's too fast it can be difficult to use, so we recommend "50-100" or higher.
Once you have finished the settings, close the Registry Editor and restart your PC for the changes to take effect.
