After normal use over multiple months, my SolidWorks installation is getting stuck on the ‘Loading Registry…’ splash screen. I have attempted to fix by following other forum post instructions including restarting the computer, reinstalling SolidWorks (tried 2019 and 2018), and resetting the registry.

I am on a Windows 10 Enterprise computer. Intel Xeon Silver 4108 CPU @ 1.8GHz 1.80 GHz. 64 bit system.
