Thanks NightOwl I have ensured that all protection settings are off. Unfortunately the Mac is still unhappy. I think it might just be the fact that it is installed, which is a bit dissappointing.

Morning, We have started to deploy ESET Protect agent and ESET Endpoint AntiVirus to our M1 MacBook Airs running Ventura, unfortunately once installed the Macs take several minutes to boot, getting stuck on the screen with the white apple logo and loading bar. Has anyone else experienced this and resolve it, or can give an idea on where to start troubleshooting? I have confirmed this is ESET by completely removing the AV and agent, and observing the boot speed. I have also pushed a policy that disables all of the security monitoring, eg real-time protection, webs proxy etc, after which the boot speed is still extremely slow. Running ESET Endpoint AntiVirus 7.2.1600.0 ESET Management Agent 10.0.3091.0 Kind Regards, Jeff
