What's Wrong?
When running claude from a powershell 5 or 7, keyboard input is very slow and sporadic, initially not responsive. With each key entry, I notice the MBAMService process becomes very busy, taking 10-30% cpu.
I didn't experience this issue on 1.x.
What Should Happen?
Claude should respond normally, even with MB in use.
Error Messages/Logs
