I can't reproduce the problem on Windows-10-10.0.18936 64 Bits.
@Ray Molenkamp (LazyDodo), @Brecht Van Lommel (brecht) any idea?

This is most likely due to a slow or disconnected network or external drive, where Blender is waiting for it to time out.

Yep. That must be the case. Just checked, and now it works instantly.

If this is a known issue, to prevent blender from freezing can be a TODO.
But since it is not a priority, archived.
