Windows 10: 1903 Settings Appearance - Cortana Delayed

I just did a fresh install on 1903 (on 3 different machines) and each machine displays the same result.


I go into Settings and it goes from “Ease of Access” to “Search” and then 2 seconds later “Cortana” displays between those two items. It happens every single time I open Settings.


Cortana was NOT activated during installation.


Any thoughts?
