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.
