Windows Consistent extreme lag on startup of any project - then running fine?

I've been dealing with this problem on my desktop for a fair while now with any of my projects made in GMS2. Literally every single time I run a project the first second or so is fine and then there is extreme lag almost to the point of freezing, then a few seconds later the game runs fine? It's so bizarre, I can't find any other mentions of something like this online and I've just been dealing with it until now. Performance is fine apart from there have been a couple rare times where its frozen my pc... which isn't convenient so if anybody knows anything about that either it would be appreciated.

The weird thing is, the projects all work fine on my laptop, no startup freezing there, but on my desktop it happens every single time. It shouldn't be my specs... I have a GTX 1060, Intel Core I5 8400, 24 gb ram, etc. If anyone has any advice it would be greatly appreciated.
