My iPad Pro suddenly started two annoying symptoms. 1. Slow to respond to touch when I try to open apps or type. 2. Touching app icons used to open the apps. Now it brings up an abbreviated menu.

If your iPad is not operating or performing as expected, try a forced-restart - as this will often clear an isolated software issue:
Force restart iPad (models with Face ID or with Touch ID in the top button)
If your iPad doesn’t have the Home button, do the following:
Force restart iPad (models with the Home button)
Press and hold the top button and the Home button at the same time. When the Apple logo appears, release both buttons.
If the problem persists after performing the restart, it may be necessary to reset your iPad settings. While this reset will not cause any loss of data, as a precaution, it is always wise to ensure that you have a current iCloud or iTunes backup before performing the reset:

When you are happy to proceed, you can perform the reset from iPad settings:
Settings > General > Transfer or Reset iPad > Reset > Reset All Settings
If the problem still doesn’t clear, the next step is to reset the iPad to factory settings - noting that this will fully reset and erase the iPad:

After restoring to factory settings, you can restore your pre-existing backup to your iPad:

Otherwise, you would be best advised to seek assistance directly from Apple Support. You can contact the Support Team using the Support link at top-right or bottom-left of this page. Alternatively and perhaps easier, you can initiate and manage your support cases using the excellent Apple Support App. If not already installed on your iPad, the App can be downloaded from the App Store:

You might also visit the Genius Bar at your local Apple Store or Apple Authorised Service Provider (AASP) - where the technicians will be able to test and assess your iPad - and you can explore your available options:
I seem to have fixed the menu issue but the slow response remains. I am running the latest version of iOS. The device has 50% of its capacity available so it doesn’t appear to be a “too full” problem.
even typing in my password to open the device requires a slow typing speed.
until yesterday it responded with no noticeable lag. Now it is annoyingly slow.
