Desktop "New" Context Menu Behaving Slow After Upgrade to 1809

I have same Issue. Right-Click > New is Slow on windows 10 + Update 1809

Me 2 man and no fix yet

I have exactly the same issue, but I've also noticed, that in my case it is somehow related to nVidia software, as it was gone for some time, and returned after I've installed "NVIDIA Control Panel UWP" from MSI website.

Different user on same PC does not have the problem, I also ran an "Inplace" Update which did not help.
Glad I saw the remark about MS being aware of the problem - now I can stop trying to repair this for myself. Will miss the "New" function though ....

Any updates to this? It happens to me even on the Release Preview Ring.

Not a problem for me and I have Nvidia driver and 1809 winver. I just couple days ago fresh installed 1809.
Instantly can make a new folder.

I think that the problem doesn't have to do with that, it's an OS problem, and, just like with other bugs, it only affects some users, it is easy to know that it is an OS bug since Microsoft fixed this bug in the insiders builds:

I have this slow issue on the New menu on one system and not another running the same version OS.
Any news on a fix for this?

I recently had this start happening on 1809 and traced it back to the UWP (Microsoft Store) version of Kodi. Uninstalling it and using the native windows version fixed the issue for me. If you aren't using Kodi then perhaps it is worth uninstalling all UWP apps in case one of them is responsible.

This worked for me as well! Tried removing everything from the NEW menu (except folder), but that did not help.. After removing Kodi it was back to normal :)

Removing KODI did not help in my case. I think I had downloaded KODI and have not installed it thru the Microsoft Store though.
