This tutorial will show you how to make tweaks to the Registry in Windows. Before making any changes, it’s a best practice to back it up first.
1. Click on Start and type regedit into the Search box. At the top you’ll see regedit.exe, right-click on it and click Run as Administrator.

2. The Registry editor will open. In the left pane navigate to the following:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\DesktopThen in the right panel scroll down to MenuShowDelay and double click on it.

3. You should see the default Value Data is set to 400. Change this to a smaller number or you can even go with zero if you want menus to come up instantly.
