Loading shaders and 5fps lobby

Geforce RTX 2060 8GB

Ryzen 7 3750H

16GB RAM

WIN 11

Every time I load the game it loads shaders for 5min+ before getting to lobby. Once in lobby I get 1-5 fps for a couple of minutes, and that happens practically after every game.

When that happens my CPU workload goes through the roof and my GPU drops to the floor - don't know what that means.

I have no problems at all while in a game.

My geforce tool recommends high in every setting. I've set everything to low/disabled now, but for some reason when I try to disable Spot Shadow Detail it just resets to Low.

Apex is the only game I have issues with.

I don't know what to do.

Edit: I just realised the lobby lag happens when there's a map change.

So I solved it.
My issue was that apparently Apex throws shaders at you, so I had to increase my Shaders Cache Size, which I probably should have tried way earlier considering my issues.
For Nvidia users:
NVIDIA Control Panel ->
Manage 3D Settings ->
Global Settings ->
In the list scroll down to Shader Cache Size and increase it.
If it doesn't work a thread I found said you can try disabling it fully -> apply and then allocate space again, apply and restart computer.
Thank you so much for all the help @ApexMods!

I just did the following steps from this thread - https://answers.ea.com/t5/Technical-Issues/Map-Loading-Time-Extremely-Slow/m-p/10513941
i deleted the save config folder which is in (C > Users > (your user profile) > Saved Games > Respawn > Apex. Delete the apex folder.it doesn't affect your progress just your setting.so take note of your setting before you delete.
Go to geforce experience and check for any driver update,if there is none reinstall the driver .Perform a clean install.
Go to nvidea control panel and in 3d settings > Adjust image settings with preview choose Let the 3d application decide
And opened the game from GeForce experience, still have the same problems.
