Since the most recent update we’ve noticed that the UI has become significantly less response and connecting to clusters now takes 20-30 seconds.  
We’ve also observed issues when port-forwarding to pods.

OS: Windows 11 23H2, all updates applied.

Reverting back to the prior version resolves the issues.

Hi, just wanted to follow up on this,  
We’ve still observing the performance slowdown across a number of our Windows users with the UI becoming largely unusuable and clusters taking minutes to connect.  
Is there some additional diagnostic info that’ll allow for this to be investigated further?

Thanks
