Windows 11s menus have fade and slide animation effects most users probably seldom notice.
Such effects generate momentary delays in menus appearing, amounting to about half a second (400 milliseconds).
However, there are ways you’ve got the option to speed up menus.
you could reduce the 400-millisecond menu delay or disable their visual effects entirely.
This is how you’re free to speed up menus in Windows 11 with three methods.
To restore the default delay, input400in the MenuShowDelay string’sValue databox.
Among them is aMenu Show Delaysetting that enables you to change the menu delay without manually editing the registry.
Or drag the bars slider to 400 instead.
Turning off those effects will free up system resources.
You dont need to edit the registry to do so since Windows includes options for adjusting its effects.
you might more specifically select to block the Start menus animations.
