Please provide the following information

qBittorrent version and Operating System

Windows 10. qBittorent 4.1.5

What is the problem

When clicking on a magnet link in the web browser qbitorrent opens up with an dialog to add the new magnet link. The qbitorrent window and the dialog freezes a few seconds and nothing is interactable. Im assuming its downloading torrent meta data because it unfreezez and has that information available.

What is the expected behavior

The version 3.x.x didnt have this problem, the dialog window opened but it had hashed information and the torrent could be added in that state and it would complete the information after

Steps to reproduce

Click on a magnet link which should default to opening up qbittorrent, when qbittorrent takes focus it should be uninteractable a short while

Extra info(if any)
