gVim 8.2 stuck on startup

My gVim 8.2 (Windows 10) always get stuck during startup, showing the window below.

gVim stuck on startup

Looking at Windows Task Manager, it shows ctags.exe consuming ~30% of CPU, and 40MB of RAM.

I have to close it manually (or wait for 10+ minutes!), then the program starts...

How can I make it go straight to the program without showing this?

NOTE: Also, my Vim (not gVim) doesn't even show anything (only a black window with a blinking cursor, no matter if I call it from the terminal or not). Both are 64bit, but the same did happen with the 32bit version.

Actually Don't Use The Command Line Version Use The gVim App In Your Laptop/PC

You have a plugin or autocommand in your Vim config that automatically runs ctags. This isn't default behavior.
