After pressing Play button I see a black window for a while after that the client finishes its work. I have no error messages neither any suspicious messages in ESO log files. This behaviour is the same with Steam or without. I haven't played for a while so I have no idea what update cause this. But I never had such problem before. Last time I played it was this spring or begining of this summer.

I have Windows 10 with latest updates installed. Lastest direct x is the part of the updates, so apparently it's latest. And I have latest Visual C++ libraries installed either.
I have executed sfc /checknow and all system files seem to be ok.
I have NVidia RTX 2060 video adapter with latest drivers.
I doesn't have the setting "Select the preferred graphics processor for this program" in my Nvidia control panel. But I have only one adapter and it shouldn't be an issue.
I have tried to repair my client several times, so apparently it's not corrupted.
I have deleted ESO folder from My documents, so the client starts with default settings and no addons.

I have tried different compatibility modes and running as administrator, no success.

    Oh, I've found in another topic, it can be test mode... I'll check, but I need this mode for some of my old devices which doesn't have signed drivers.
