Thank you for your suggestions Kaled. I tried your second recommendation and the problem still persisted unfortunately.

However I apparently found a solution that is shared from a different problem, as long as it works right?

You have to save and execute the following file and naturally it requires a reboot. I haven't had to wait for the icons to load at all for about a day now so it seems to have worked just fine!

start_menu_fix.vbs
Option Explicit

Set WSHShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")

Dim WSHShell, n, p, itemtype, mybox

p = "HKCU\Control Panel\Desktop\WindowMetrics\IconTitleWrap"

itemtype = "REG_SZ"

n = "0"

WSHShell.RegWrite p, n, itemtype

MyBox = MsgBox("You must Log Off/Log On for the changes to take effect.", 64,"Done")
