TortoiseGit locks up Windows 11 explorer context menu

Most times when I use the right mouse button to bring up the context menu in Windows explorer everything locks up for approximately 30 seconds. I suspect this will become slower as more repositories are cloned.

Currently there is a C:\dev folder with only 4 small cloned projects within the folder.

This is also noticeable when using right mouse button in a sub-directory not under Git source control, e.g. C:\dev\non-git-project
