I have an old Win7 workstation, I did so many mods to it at the build time that now I don’t even know how it works.

Lol . You made my day. I was doing that kind of Registry mangling 25 years ago. Brought me good memories, its been a while.

I'm so happy I haven't had to use a Windows machine in more than 10 years.

For me, MacBookPro for coding, Linux Mint for home desktop and Steam + Xbox Live online for gaming. We live in excellent times

Good god.

Why is this set to 400ms?

Any reason it's not 0?

> Why is this set to 400ms?

I can't test it on my current computer, but does the setting affect menus that are triggered by hovering over something?

If so, then 400ms makes more sense, and the real bug is that menus summoned by an explicit click should be exempt from the delay.

The reason for a hover-delay is that it allows someone to flick their mouse to their real destination without triggering a "trap" of content which pops up on the way to obscure their goals.

But why?
