Hi, I also have some challenges in connection with DEM and logging in.
With that said, we do now have a login in about 50 seconds, and still that is too long.
I see that Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Slack and teams Configs, takes 5-8 seconds each, and the ZIP files is between 40-300mb in size..

It is difficult to trim the browsers config files, because users want to have their history, saved passwords, bookmarks etc...

Do you have a configfile for Defender?
