What happened?

I just re-installed oh-my-posh on Windows and after it takes a really long time after each enter (at least 5 seconds) and the initial startup of the shell usually takes over 30 seconds. I tried to get any useful information from Write-PoshDebug but the only thing that took longer to execute was git - so I removed the git part from the theme (and also uninstalled git) but I still have the same issue. The only value in my powershell profile is Set-PoshPrompt -Theme amro . I tried to install it as a module, used the installer and tried the standalone binary - All methods result in the same issue. Also tried to use different console hosts - without any success.

Powershell version: 7.2.1.0 Oh-My-Posh version: 7.23.0

@mafriese whenever we noticed this, it was due to defender or a virus scanner blocking the binary execution. Adding an exclusion fixes this immediately.

[mafriese]

Can confirm that adding an exception fixes the issue - Thanks for your quick reply!

[JanDeDobbeleer]

@mafriese enjoy your prompt!
