Infinite Loading Screen and Technical Issues After Genesis Update

I'm having fairly consistent issues with code:net on startup, and when I switch from playlists (e.g. from Arenas to Ranked).

When I switch, it stutters the audio music for several minutes, then eventually says "code:net".

When I try clicking back in, it _usually_ reconnects right away.

I've tried a few different things, including this post in the forum:

I have also tried this:

I reinstalled the latest drivers, tried launching from Geforce experience. I set my affinity from 0 to 7 like the post above suggests.

This only happened after the latest Genesis update. Please advise.
