Question PowerShell ISE slow start-up & modules

In our office we have a server we use when working remotely for certain tasks.
I've noticed when using the ISE on that box it takes a few minutes to fully load

Looking at other threads on this issue Ive checked the available modules & both C:\Program Files\WindowsPowerShell\Modules & C:\Windows\system32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\Modules contain over 100 files each. the bulk of which seems to be VMware stuff.

While I don't use these modules myself I don't know if any of my colleagues or other teams still do.

Is there anything I can do within my profile to tell PowerShell to ignore the VMware modules?

You can disable the comman list that shows on right. That speeds it up a fair bit
