[Bug] Usability issue: using broker flashes "Just a moment" multiple times when logging into new Windows account

[teh173]

Library version used

4.84

.NET version

.NET 4.7.2 and .NET 8

Scenario

PublicClient - desktop app

Is this a new or an existing app?

The app is in production, and I have upgraded to a new version of MSAL

Issue description and reproduction steps

Probably more of a usability issue than a bug (sign in works fine), but using the Windows Desktop broker flashes "Just a moment" multiple times when logging into new Windows account on the device.

1. Create a project logging into a PublicClient with WithWindowsDesktopFeatures( new BrokerOptions( BrokerOptions.OperatingSystems.Windows ) )
2. Login to a new system account instead of just the app.

Expected behavior

Just a moment is only shown once instead of refreshing multiple times.

Didn't see this behavior when using the non-broker login methods.

Identity provider

Microsoft Entra ID (Work and School accounts and Personal Microsoft accounts)
