Game Startup Freezes Computer

Whenever I press "Play" on the SWTOR launcher, my computer freezes and lags significantly for around one to two minutes. My cursor moves at about one frame per second and I cannot use any other applications (cannot alt-tab, cannot speak on voice via Discord). 

I have attached my dxdiag if needed.

    i wonder if this is a windows issue affecting certain setups see the comment at this link about being a windows issue , noting you have AMD video and that is the nvidia forum

    look at the latest insider build I can only find reference to the below though

    • We fixed an issue that could result in fullscreen games getting stuck minimized or exiting fullscreen status unexpectedly.

    I changed my installer to non-streaming - issue still occurs.

    Disabled my Origen G2 - issue still occurs.

    I have also disabled any and all possible background applications.

    I thought it would be helpful to link a video capture I recorded to demonstrate what is occuring:
    As I press play, I start by moving my cursor to represent that my computer is responsive and normal, but gradually freezes, jitters, and lags as the game loads.

    I also noticed via Task Manager that my disk usage drops to 0% during loading, shouldn't it be the opposite?

    Nothing out of the ordinary, except my disk usage being at 0% until the title screen appears.

    How are the firewall exceptions ? I guess if it is waiting for network data it is feasible it will suspend loading for a time.

    Re-install or repair C++ installs
