YT made the client solve a puzzle in order to get full download speed. We can do that now (again, after YT broke it last night) and an imminent release will fix it. Or you can install from the git HEAD using pip, but as you’re using the Windows .exe probably you should wait for the release.

If anyone has a Python installation with a recent pip (pip3), you can install the latest master branch (or any other commit level) directly from GitHub or a downloaded tar.gz.
This issue also happened to me.
using the last update, the download stuck at 74.93KiB/s
Good luck team.
