MATLAB: Opening uisetcolor extremely slow R2016b

MATLABuisetcolor

Is anybody else having this issue? Has anybody found a workaround or solution?
I've tested 8 machines, and even asked a friend to try it on his system. 3 of the 9 were fine (roughly 1 second to fully open the color picker). The other 6 took about 15 seconds (certainly more than 10 seconds) to open. For my 8, all are running R2016b 64-bit with a mix of Win7 and Win10. I haven't found any distinction between the systems to indicate why the 3 have no problem.

Since everybody seems to prefer the old color picker, and it opens much faster than the new one, it's a great workaround.
setpref('Mathworks_uisetcolor','Version',1); RESTART MATLAB
Thanks to Jean Marie for the suggestion!
