Windows Installer is very slow on Windows 11 24H2
I had this same issue on my laptop, I don't know if you used a program such as defender control to disable windows defender (like I did), But I learned that if you have windows defender disabled and still have 'Smart App Control' running in the Windows Security center, it causes that delay. To fix, simply look up 'Smart App Control' in your start menu, and toggle it to off. Hope this helps, this issue was driving me crazy because I couldn't find any solutions, and was trying to install Visual Studio, which has like 500 MSI installers in a row.

dude i was having the same problem and i tried your solution and it worked
like i literally did the same things you did
i disabled windows defender using defender control cause windows defender sucks **bleep** and it's annoying and i don't really need it and i noticed that after disabling it some installers and sometimes apps take a **bleep**ing while to actually launch
like microsoft visual studio
but now it's fixed thanks to you
thank you so much
EDIT : i literally created an account just to like your comment and make this replyThanks to your solution, the problem is solved!
