Very slow start and weird behaviour on macOS

[EsDmitrii]

Describe the bug
A clear and concise description of what the bug is.

I face weird behaviour last couple month: lens start veeeery slow ~1-2 minutes
When I connect to any cluster I can't see pod's logs and exec into any container ~1-2 minutes

Expected behavior
All works well as it was before (open lens works well)

Screenshots
Lens slow start:

Lens no logs and exec button, extensions not working properly:

How it works in Open Lens, as it was sometime before in Lens:

Environment (please complete the following information):

• Lens Version:
  Lens: 2024.4.230844-latest
  Extension API: 6.10.36
  Electron: 27.2.4
  Chrome: 118.0.5993.159
  Node: 18.17.1
• OS: macOS Sonoma 14.5 (23F79)
• Installation method (e.g. snap or AppImage in Linux): dmg from website

Kubeconfig:
I use admin kubeconfig so there are no issues with it due to it worked well before

Additional context
So as you can see I can't use some extensions that provides some features, Lens starts very slow and doesn't allow to see any logs and exec to containers as fast as I can when I connect to cluster
I tried to delete and reinstall Lens from the official website and from the Brew - no luck, still the same

Does it work ok if you remove (or disable) installed extensions?

@jakolehm Hi!
Tried this way. Also tried to remove .k8slens with installed extensions and reinstall Lens

[jakolehm]

Could you remove following folder and then try again: ~/Library/Application\ Support/Lens/node_modules/

[EsDmitrii]

unfortunately it is not helped
Lens still start slow and ~/Library/Application\ Support/Lens/node_modules/ folder recreates on startup

Same here—the startup is incredibly slow. It's been like this for a while and frankly lost hope. It was much better before.

@jakolehm hi!
