Can't help you if we don't know your PC specs! What HDD/Motherboard/CPU/SSD/etc etc are you using? It could be the result of a number of errors.

Could very well be a piece of software that has added a new filetype to the "Create New..." list which Windows is doing checks on each time you open it.

Is this a fresh install of Windows, NO updates or installed software?

There's something in your context menu that has been recently added that is causing the slowdown. That, or broken links (e.g. inaccessible mapped network drive shortcut) on your desktop are known to cause issues such as these.
