I don't use any of the compatibility modes. Yet, I've never encountered any of the problems you mention.
It can be really helpful if you specify the version of Scrivener you are using.
P.S.
Do you have all those 26,000 words in one file?

I also notice that the program seems to run better in full screen. This is problematic because my second draft process is to do a split screen between Scrivener and a web page to access grammar checking apps. Navigating through a paragraph with the cursor keys is extremely slow, and highlighting paragraphs to copy and paste will sometimes "chug" as if the system is bogging down.
I've used both Edge and Chrome browsers, with neither resulting in much of a difference. Memory usage in either case is still well below max - usually under 20%
It almost seems like a graphics acceleration issue, what brand of GPU are you using, NVidia or ATI?
I'm using Windows 10 Pro, 1709, 16299.309 (March 13, 2018 update.)
Will try with compatibility mode and see if that changes anything.

It's also worth pointing out that that file was just one part of a larger project that is a roughly 350,000 word 1st draft so far. In Open Office it was broken up into ten 30-40k chunks. The 26k part was the smallest segment. Scrivener is handling all of it with no problems with each segment now imported as a chapter.

I hope you are aware of the way Scrivener auto-saves your work while writing. The thing with Scrivener is that you can break the text up in infinitely small parts in the binder but still view them as one part while writing and compile it as one single document in the end. One advantage of this is that Scrivener only loads the active binder document in memory and only auto-saves that miniscule part while you work. So if shit hits the fan and your computer crash while it is auto-saving, only what you had in the editor is affected.
But if you have 30-40k documents in the binder, you risk destroying it all and saving takes longer.
