Wondering if anyone has had this issue before. Retroarch takes 1-2 minutes to load up in launchbox and when running stand alone. Once it loads i can load a core and play a game, same in Launchbox takes 1-2 minutes and loads game up fine but don't want the long wait. Ran retroarch with ---menu --verbose and cmd line output below. I put in BOLD the last part that was written to CMD when it started not responding then after the long wait it coninued like normal.
Things I did:
Uninstalled any program/drivers/.net I installed 2 days ago when it was working.
No Windows updates but updated since it wasn't working no change,
Have Corsair keyboard, unplugged uninstalled iCUE, switched keybaord to a generic one and rebooted issue still present.
Bios, video, audio drivers upto date, but reinstalled what drivers I could to be "fresh".
Deleted cfg file, reinstalled everything in retroarch - issue still present.
Changed video, audio driver in Retroarch - no change in issue.
Any help would be apreciated. Thanks !
