glfwInit taking a long time to initialize

Question

It used to work fine last week but now that I'm trying to open the project again, it stays stuck on glfwInit() for a good 30 second every time. I've tried it using both a project on VS2015 and the new 2017 one to see if it fixed it.

There's nothing before glfwInit(); and when I put a breakpoint right after, it takes 30 seconds to break.

I can't seem to find anything on this, is there any known solution?

Answer 1

Reboot.

I was having this same problem, and it immediately went away once I rebooted my PC.
