As Daffy Duck once said (I think), "I've had all I can stand, I can stand no more!!"
Since I work with folks with who are visually impaired or blind, I am a lot more keyboard shortcut centric than most Windows users have been for decades. I really like a lot of them even for myself, as getting certain things done is so much faster without having to point and click.
For a long time now, and across programs, when I invoke any ribbon, in any program, there is an insane delay between when I hit ALT+{Letter} to invoke it, to when focus goes to it and all of the "next step" shortcut characters are shown in that ribbon for the controls. For example, if I hit ALT+F in File Explorer, it just takes forever for the File Tab to come up. In addition, very often I get a "black square" for the whole ribbon, then the ribbon appears, then I get a series of black squares for all the "next step" key sequences before they are painted in.
The fact that this crosses programs, and occurs in Windows functions like File Explorer, as well as in application programs, makes me think that this is a "Windows level" issue, but I'll be darned if I'm able to figure out what it is, and I've been trying for quite a while.
By contrast, on all other machines I do this on, the response is virtually instant, including on the "hardware twin" of my laptop that's my partner's.
Any ideas for what to try will be much appreciated.
