MCC. Game slows down and becomes unresponsive [PC]

Halo: Master Chief Collect on Steam.

Starting today, April 30, 2020, the Master Chief Collection has slowed down during gameplay until it becomes unresponsive. The only way to resolve this issue is to force close the game and relaunch it. I have verified all files with Steam and there were no files that were missing or corrupted. I was able to play the game during the last week without issue and nothing has changed on my PC since yesterday when the game was working perfectly. There are no other programs or downloads running while the game is running. I haven’t installed new software or anti-virus and I’m running the same hardware that I always have since launch.

The issue is occurring in all game modes: campaign, firefight, and multiplayer.
