Da Vinci resolve 19.0, 19.1.4 and 20 Beta 3 are all crashing/hanging on the project selection screen.
I already deinstalled all VST Plugins, removed the Da Vinci User Folder, update the Nvidia Driver (Studio) to latest version. Nothing helped.

I exported the logs:
[LINK REMOVED - no longer needed since issue was fixed]

The Exported logs were showing:

I reinstalled Python, and now it works again!
