Acorn stuck on loading, possible holochain issue

[Fenekhu]

Launching the exe, whether as a regular user or elevated, causes it to freeze on this screen.

I've seen other users with the same problem, but my console and logs are different:

And two reports are created:

I originally tried the v9.8.1-alpha installer from the website. After installing, the "loading" screen was stuck on "Welcome to Acorn..." instead of "Loading...". From then on, its always gotten stuck at "Loading...". I tried uninstalling 9.8.1-alpha and have been using 9.9.0 but it said "Loading..." on the first time and all the same issues.
