ESO launcher re-downloads the entire game multiple times a year

✭✭✭✭✭
I have a second PC at my parents' and ESO Launcher always re-downloads the entire game every time I launch it. I use OneDrive to sync AddOns but other than that there's nothing out of ordinary. Considering the internet speed is only 50 Mbps this is a huge issue for me.
Any suggestions are welcome. AI chatbots didn't help at all...
P.S.: Forum search is busted (AGAIN?!) so I cannot search for similar issues which I am sure are many already.

✭✭✭✭What browser do you use? I use Edge, a quick search using "eso game reinstalls every time I open launcher" gave me loads of results, including a fairly extensive AI response(Co-Pilot I believe).
Got the links below from a forum search......

Not sure if there is any helpful info in there for you.
Edit:- because I'm an idiot..... I'm currently on my tablet so that search was done with Google not Edge!!

Aliniel✭✭✭✭✭The game is re-downloading EVRYTHING AGAIN. It's been like 2 months since I've been at this PC. This is the only game that does this.0
