5+ minute db lock on startup

Server Version#: 1.23.6.4810
Plex Media Server Logs_2021-07-22_11-16-51.zip (1.5 MB)
Whenever I start my server now, the database ends up locked for 5+ minutes. I didn’t have this problem a month ago and my library hasn’t grown by that much, though it is admittedly large (300mb db.) I have confirmed that the antivirus is not tying up files in the plex directory (EDIT: have now confirmed that plex is the only process accessing those files) and have already gone through the database corruption check. db is on a sata ssd; am wondering if this is really just an issue of db size, if an nvme ssd might cut the initial lock down to sub-1 minute(EDIT: moving db to ram did nothing to shorten the lock time.) Attached logs from server start up to when the db unlocks and the server begins functioning normally. Any help greatly appreciated. (EDIT: disabled all scheduled tasks and restarted, still no change)

I believe they broke something in recent versions of PMS and since you’re on Windows, it appears to be a multiplatform issue (I run docker on ubuntu). I would suggest downgrading to v1.23.3.4707 as this is the last version that works for me before the db lock issue starts. I posted the same issue under the server-docker tag earlier today.
