### Region

_No response_

### Provide a description that is worded well enough to be understood

In case the working directory is NOT writable (IMPORTANT!), e.g. C:\Program Files, yt-dlp stuck when trying to just parse particular video URL (using -J parameter). Not all URLs are affected. It seems the ones with DRM.
Yt-dlp never finishes. Python process is stuck consuming 50MB of memory and 50% of CPU core.

Issue is NOT reproducible in the previous 2023.06.22 release.

### Provide verbose output that clearly demonstrates the problem

- [X] Run **your** yt-dlp command with **-vU** flag added (`yt-dlp -vU <your command line>`)
- [ ] If using API, add `'verbose': True` to `YoutubeDL` params instead
- [X] Copy the WHOLE output (starting with `[debug] Command-line config`) and insert it below
