Please open task manager and check if any cpu processes are using a high amount of cpu when this happens.
Do you have rainmeter or wallpaper engine installed?
CPU load goes from 1% to about 14% only during the first toolbar launch. After that, the toolbar works fine, and launching it again doesn’t cause any additional CPU load.
No rainmeter or wallpaper engine installed.

I needed to see what was using the cpu at 14%. Please show what process that was.

Looks like snipping tool is causing this. Do you have clipboard monitoring enabled? Try disabling it.
No, snipping tool has nothing to do with it. That´s intialising snipping tool before clicking the toolbar button. There is no striking peak except Defender.
I think the delay is happening is because windows is having to cache all the items before showing it.
Any idea how to address this issue? All my attempts to prefetch toolbar icons after Windows 11 boot have failed. Exclusion from Defender didn’t help either.
I think this is just by design by Microsoft. Good luck in finding an answer.
