Describe the bug
I hope this is the right place to post this issue.
Azure cli is extremely slow on Windows 10 (more than 30 secs just to display az --version) when a USB-C dock with card readers is plugged in and displays them as drive letters (portable devices) and there are no devices plugged in.

To Reproduce:
I think someone would need a USB-C hub that assigns drive letters to empty card readers.
Expected Behavior
I would expect not to have this behaviour, with or without the hub.
