PC Steam ESO Launcher Closing Issue

Ellimist_Entreri

Any time I go to close the launcher for ESO after playing for an extended time I am required to either click the small x in the corner, or force close the application through task manager.
-when I right-click the tray icon nothing happens. (Never works)
-when I right-click the taskbar icon and click close, nothing happens. (Only works shortly after launcher/game have been started)
-when I press alt-f4 with the ESO launcher window in focus, nothing happens. (Only works shortly after launcher/game have been started)

Typically I would consider this malicious, here I am going to give the benefit of the doubt and guess it is some sort of bug.
No other programs I am running exhibit this activity, it is isolated specifically to the ESO Launcher (Not the game-client itself) that comes up after clicking Play for the game on Steam.

How long have you been having this issue with the ESO Launcher?

Have you tried reinstalling the ESO Launcher on your PC?

The same thing has been happening with my Steam launcher ever since I've started playing (end of February). I'ts annoying as hell, but have learned to live with it.

I am unsure of exactly when the issue first presented for me & at this point I have just started closing the launcher immediately after starting the game-client itself which effectively nullifies the issue. I have not tried reinstalling as of this time - with the size of the download and my connection speeds that is a last resort for me, though I will give it a try once I am able!
