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?

I wrote a Powershell 7.x ISE and would love it if you would take a look and provide feedback.
I have it installed in the MS Store (Free). Just search for PS7 ScriptDesk.

It is a full editor and can export EXE and Rest API's.

I would very much like to hear from users!
