Roblox Studio and the game client hang for 20-30 minutes when launching

Starting 2-3 weeks ago, when launching either Roblox or Roblox Studio, the process hangs in the background for 20-30 minutes before launching. This happens 100% of the time and both studio and the game client consistently use 20-30% CPU utilization while hanging in the background. This issue does not extend to the the UWP client, which loads as expected.

While hanging, the process stays in the background and does not render anything (showing a blank, sometimes black screen in alt+tab.) Studio is similar, however the Roblox studio watermark will stay present on the screen until it launches (and will freeze if you interact with it.)

This issue also affects launching multiplayer test servers in Studio.

System Information:
CPU - Intel(R) Core™ i9-10980HK CPU
RAM - 32gb
GPU - RTX 2070 Super + Intel integrated graphics
Roblox is installed on a 1tb NVME
