Context menu very slow to appear (only in office)?

Hi

I've just installed Office 2013 (64bit), and there is now a large lag (~2s) between right clicking, and the context menu appearing (only in Office applications)

After about a second the shadow appears, then followed by the menu itself. 

This lag is also present to a lesser extent when scrolling.

I'm running Win 8.1 on a Mbpr using bootcamp, all other applications run buttery smooth.

Any ideas?

Hi Joe,

Let us start Word in application safe and then check how it works.

To do that, press the ‘Windows + R’ key on the keyboard.

In the Run open box type in ‘Winword /safe’ and hit ok.

Note: There is a space between Winword and /.

If application safe works, try the steps in the following article and check:

Follow the steps and let us know if that helps. If the issue persists, reply and we will be happy to help you.

Thank you

Hello Joe,

Thank you for replying.

You may change the default printer to OneNote 2013 or Microsoft XPS Document Writer and then check the behavior.

If changing the default printer works, then you may update the drivers for the problem printer.

For more information on how to change the default printer, refer to the following link:
