python manage.py runserver very long response time

[smudgerPH]

When I run 'python manage.py runserver' it takes at least 20 minutes before performing any system checks, it then takes a further 10 minutes to do the system checks. If there is an error with the code or database then it still takes this long before saying anything.

I have the latest version of pip, Python and Django. I've looked on the task manage and the command prompt is using 0.1% of the CPU during this time. It also takes this long for me to run 'python manage.py migrate'. I seem to be the only one working on the project that has this problem.

Once it does start running the server, if I edit any pages and try to reload them then the server becomes unreachable but gives the impression in the command prompt that it is still running. I have to restart the server to see any changes.

I'm running windows 10 on a personal laptop with an 8th gen i7 processor. While running this command I am doing nothing else and the total usage of the CPU rarely goes above 10% so I can't see any reason why it takes so long.

You need to give us some way to reproduce the problem (and ideally, confirm that Django is at fault).
