Thanks for the details! I went ahead and edited your post by putting “~~~” around the command line stuff and “>” before the GUI text to make them easier to read.
It sounds like you’re running into the same issue as mentioned in these topics:
If you can get into the GUI fast enough try setting main menu Settings → “Anonymous usage reports” to “None / Disabled”.
I’m not aware of the command line parameter to disable usage log reporting, but if you can’t get into the GUI to turn it off you could also try deleting any pending submissions from your temp folder. Assuming standard settings, this can be done in the command shell by:
changing to your temp folder by running cd %tmp%
listing pending submissions by running dir dupl-usagereport-*
If there are more than 50 or so of them, delete them by running del dupl-usagereport-*
You can also do it in Windows Explorer by:
Enter %tmp% in the path folder
Sort or filter such that all the dupl-usagereport-* files are grouped together
