Where I work, my laptop runs a bunch of agents I have no choice about, some of which are related to Windows Defender. A new PowerShell session takes anywhere from *five to thirty seconds* just to give me a prompt I can type at. Blame it on the other software if you want, but PowerShell isn't just a little slow. It's hundreds of times slower than any interactive shell should be. The part of my PowerShell profile that takes the most time to execute is removing all of the fake, useless aliases for Unix commands that PowerShell bundles and refuses to remove.
