Slow Contextual Menu

Hello!

The following error occurs: As soon as I try to "right-click" to get to the contextual menu of a folder, file, hard drive or simply on desktop for the first time after a reboot, the spinning wheel appears for 5-10 seconds and then the menu opens. After that it works without problems.

Do you know any solutions? Because it's really annoying....

Thanks....

Hardware: Macbook Pro Mid 2012, 500GB SSD, 8GB RAM

Software: MacOSX 10.11, El Capitan, "Clean Install"

I have sent feedback to Apple: http://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html

I would recommend that you also do so.

i've searched for same errors in google and found something strange: since i put a cd/dvd in my drive, it works fine.

looks like the problem has something to do with the optical drive

That´s really strange. The beachball will not appear even by right clicking on desktop immediately after login or reboot? I emphasise this because I have discovered, that the spinning wheel won't appear after working a while (30-60 min.) in El Capitan.

yes, immediately after reboot works now. and you can hear the drive working, if a cd is inside and do the right-click for the first time.

maybe because of the "burn"-option in the menu!?
