Symptoms
The CSRSS process consumes about 100% of the cpu under certain circumstances, such as opening an Outlook mail folder. Additionally, cascading menus open only with a significant delay.
Solution
One possible cause for this is the Tweak UI tool from Microsoft. This tool exposes a bug in that it sets the MenuShowDelay to zero. In fact, the lowest valid value for this setting is one. To correct this, follow these steps:
-
Open the registry editor.
-
Navigate to the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop node.
-
Double-Click the MenuShowDelay entry.
-
Set the value of this entry to 1.
-
Close the registry editor.
The changes are loaded the next time you log on to your computer.
