Uninstalling & Reinstalling Launcher and Game - Help Please

Ever since yesterday's Crown Store update to the game, I have been unable to login to the game (I'm not the only one). Whether I use the launcher or just the exe, the game will freeze and crash to desktop as soon as the Bethseda logo appears. I have updated everything and gone through the usual list of tasks and nothing works. So, what is the best way uninstall just the launcher and then reinstall it? And Heaven forbid, if I have to uninstall and reinstall the game itself, what is the best method for that? Thanks!

@ZOS_Kevin - I tagged you so you know there is an ongoing problem with many players.

    I'm having the same issue - the game just hangs as soon as the logo appears. Currently reinstalling the game, but I don't have much hope that it will be fixed with that. :(

    If you have Nvidia Geforce : turn it off/exit the application (or anything similar to it I guess)

    Worked for me

    Seems an old issue with it resurfaced with that update

    Though my game freeze when I clic on anything after I logged in (to exit the daily log in reward thing) or try to move

    My mouse cursor also disapear on the log in screen


    Turn off any application that has an ingame overlay, fixed it for me and others
