So up until a week ago running ‘skaffold dev’ was working the way I expected. It would immediately start building my containers and deploying them and when I had updates to my code it would immediately restart the containers with my new changes.
For some reason when I ran that same command in the same project folder I’ve been working on, it suddenly takes 10-30 minutes for skaffold to get past this one step

I am on a windows 11 machine

not sure what happened but it’s infuriating every time I have to make even the smallest code change

for reference in case it’s my setup
