hyfetch is very slow on windows (take 7 seconds to complete)

OS: Windows 10 ENT 22H2, 64-bit Terminal: Windows Terminal hyfetch --version : 1.4.8

Can you tell which step is the slowest? It's probably caused by the slow winget command...

Maybe you can try using hyfetch with the fastfetch backend, it might work much better on Windows since fastfetch doesn't depend on bash

winget definitely the slowest, but all steps seem slow.

hyfetch -b fastfetch and also fastfetch-old return error:

Apparently hyfetch -b fastfetch need fastfetch.exe binary. Running hyfetch -b fastfetchis still slow.

hyfetch -b fastfetch : 1.390s fastfetch.exe : 0.128s

I think 1.4s is good enough since hyfetch isn't something that need to be run very frequently. You can help us optimize if you want to run it faster.
