Trying to find out why I'm having DCS and trackIR hang on start-up

[Pekins]

I'll try to explain as best as I can. 

 

If I just booted my PC and try to start trackIR and DCS, everything will launch normally.

 

But if I boot my PC, mess around doing other things for a while (youtube, discord, maybe another game) and then try to launch DCS and trackIR, they will both have this same behaviour where both will hang/freeze for a good 30 seconds on start-up, but no crashes, after it unfreezes trackIR works normally but DCS will overall feel laggy. Only fix is restarting the PC and start them right away.

 

I have a Stream Deck that constantly display monitoring of RAM, SSD, CPU and GPU usage and it never showed anything unusual while those freezes happen.

 

Specs:

 

32gb 2933hz ram

i7 7700k

RTX3080

3 SSDs

As a test can you try without TrackIR running AND try to restart TrackIR then run DCS?
