Opening the openmw-launcher triggers Windows 5-second-rule

Finally uploading this by request. Here's the forced freeze dump for opening the launcher when it triggers the "taking too long to open" warning. Hope this helps!

  • Is the problem OpenMW specific or does it also happen in vanilla Morrowind? OpenMW
  • What is your operating system? Windows 11 Pro
  • What version of OpenMW are you using? If you used a bleeding edge build, state the exact revision used. 0.49 RC6
  • What version of Morrowind are you using (i.e. retail CD or Steam)? What addons (Tribunal, Bloodmoon) do you have installed? What language is your Morrowind install? Steam GOTY - English
  • Do you use any mods? If so, does the problem also occur in a clean vanilla install without any mods? Yes. MOMW Total Overhaul. This issue does not occur with fewer mods and for vanilla.
  • What are the exact steps to reproduce the problem? Install a large-ish mod list. Open the launcher.
  • What did you expect to happen? What happened instead? I expected the launcher to launch without a nuisance message about it taking too long to launch. Instead, it gave me a nuisance message about it taking too long to launch.
