How can I go about troubleshooting start up times for UE5.5.1? “Initializing Python” (86%) hangs for about 5 minutes on startup, everything else loads pretty quick.

Same wait after launching a second time.

Using almost completely for offline rendering, can I disable plugins to bypass this?

Same here… 5.5.1 stuck on 86%.

When i kill Python from process manager, loading is instant.
