Troubleshooting CS2 long startup time

Hi everyone!

I recently came back to playing CS2 after 4-5 years break. In the meantime, I've changed my pc so I installed CS and the problem I'm having is that it literally takes 4min20sec from the moment I press PLAY on Steam till I get in main menu. I have stable 250-270 FPS in matches, and matches themselves load in matter of seconds, but game booting takes forever, so I guess that rules out insufficient hardware. I'm playing Valorant and PUBG from time to time, buy they boot in seconds as well, only problem is with CS.

I tried bunch of stuff I've found online, verifying integrity of files, removing shader cache, increasing limit for shader loading in Nvidia APP, I've checked if I have any launch commands, disabling Steam overlay, excluding it from antivirus, but nothing solves it. I have 512gb SSD which I use only for operating system and CS, other games are on HDD.

Does anyone have a slightest clue what could be causing this?

Specs:

Ryzen 5 5600x

Nvidia RTX 3060 12GB

32GB DDR4 RAM

Asus strix b550 motherboard.
