If you installed Conda and are using the default PowerShell 5—as I do—startup will be extremely slow.
We recommend disabling Conda’s automatic initialization, or even uninstalling Conda entirely (you can replace it with uv, which is both faster and more convenient).
Alternatively, switch to PowerShell 7; see details at windows终端terminal如何配置使用powershell 7
