    I'm loading a project using Editor 2021.1.16f1 from Unity Hub 3.0.0-beta2. This is on Win10 x64 20H1.

    This is a repeatable issue, happens on the daily for me.

    The first time I open it, it appears to hang showing the busy progress bar window with some progress just ticking up more and more time without progressing. The window isn't labeled 'not responding' and can be moved around just fine. I see in the Task Manager that the Editor has stopped responding and the crash reporter is running. However, the crash reporter has no GUI window that can be switched to. After a good 20 minutes, it still doesn't do anything, and I can't really wait around longer.

    I kill the Editor in Task Manager and try reopening the project from Unity Hub, and it opens up fine the second time and subsequent times until the next time I reboot my PC.

    Here is the editor log after killing the hung/crashed process with a few strings redacted.
