4.2 hanging on initial asset import

I’m running the latest, 4.2 on WIndows 7. Every so often when I open unity, the program will hang on the asset import “Hold On” screen. There’s no consistency to which file it will hang on. Most times, I can’t end the process and I’m forced to restart the computer and restart the lengthy import process all over again, which may or may not resolve the problem.

Any tips?

Thanks.

Hi. I am also facing a similar issue when importing packages. I notice that the pc only hangs when RAM usage is above than 300MB.
