Long boot up time and even longer time to join games

Problem: It takes around 10 minutes for the game to start (time between me clicking the Desktop shortcut to launch the game and arriving at the main menu) and it takes 10-15 to go from the main menu and load into a game (after countdown in queue ends/loading screen for the map shows up and actually seeing the spawn screen).

Background: I feel like I have a decent PC and I have no clue why this is happening. I've tried deleting temp files, clearing the cache, re-installing on SSD, updating graphics drivers, etc. and nothing seems to fix it or even help slightly. Friends who also have the game do not have the same issues even with slightly "worse" PCs. I would appreciate any help/input with this issue. It is a huge pain to wait so long when I have limited time to play and joining games a third to halfway through just because of the long load times.

I don't know much at all about computers but here are some things about my set-up that I figure might help in terms of giving advice:
CPU: Intel Core i7-9700K

SSD: SAMSUNG MZVLB512HAJQ-000L7

GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070
