Mac is freezing but I can't figure out what file or folder is causing it

When I open Finder for the first time after starting up, Finder freezes with spinning beachball appearing several times. This goes on for about 20 seconds.

This doesn't happen when real-time protection is toggled off.

This FAQ says certain files or folders can't be scanned and may be the cause.

Is there any way to figure out what file or folder that may be so I can eliminate this problem?

iMac  MacOS Catalina 10.15.4
