For what it’s worth, thanks to Stephan’s comments, LyX starts up normally now with the re-initialization of the LyX-2.3 folder per the below. But the laggy cursor with longer paragraphs issue remains. I do not experience this in other writing apps (e.g. Word), or any lagginess at all.
Again, help much appreciated as this is kind of crippling for any writing I do for work.
