I recall exactly same issue reported some time ago on Reddit. It appears
to be very rare and hard to debug from our side.

I believe that you should have no problem if you use Linux subsystem and
install Linux version of Emacs there.

If you are willing to debug it, I suggest running
1. M-x debug-on-entry <RET> org-mode <RET>
2. Opening the file (first time)
3. Stepping through debugger to figure out what part of the org-mode
   startup is triggering the problem. See 19.1.8 Debugger Commands
   section of the Emacs manual for guide how to use the debugger.

Hope it helps.

Best,
