I just updated to 3.0 ona windows 10 machine and its taking it over 20 minutes to open an old file!
Run a thorough anti-virus scan on your computer, then disconnect from the Internet and try running Audacity with your anti-virus disabled.
If that enables Audacity to run properly, then you need to configure your anti-virus so that it does not interfere with the normal running of Audacity.

I already rolled back to 2.4.2. It was much smoother. I use the same computer for livestreaming and gaming, and it runs fine, audacity just seems to be a bit issue on my computer, and its not even 2 years old! My antivirus is WIndows Defender, which isn't inerfearing with audacity.
