Azure CLI Spawning many python processes

[tarres]

Describe the bug

I have installed the Azure CLI version 2.5 from winget (in Windows 10 19044). It spwans a lot (10-15) python.exe processes from the Azure\CLI2 folder, each of them takes up around 3% CPU usage. This also causes the defender process to ramp up and making the system very slowly. I do not know what is causing so many processes to spawn. Fersh install of Azure CLI did not help

Related command

no command, just PC startup

Errors

No errors received

Issue script & Debug output

No Skript

Expected behavior

No Azure CLI processes when I do not use the shell

This should not happen.
I have no idea and we didn’t receive similar reports before.

Thats why I reported it. Happy to help out with debugging or logs if needed.

The az command history can be found in ~/.azure/commands.
You can check what these processes executed.
PS: I doubt they're executing az coomands which usually take several seconds.

You are right the command logs are empty for the respective periods
