2.Select "Users and Groups" and select your user ID.
3.Select the "Login Items" tab.
4.Select each of the applications you have and click on the minus sign to remove them from the list.
5.Reboot and see if you can start up and play the game.

To completely remove add-ons from The Elder Scrolls Online, players should perform the following steps:

Do not go to the Applications folder. ESO files stored in the Applications folder do not affect game preferences.
Find the "Elder Scrolls Online" folder.

Remove all files from the "AddOns" folder.

Please note, players do not need to delete these files. They simply need to be removed from the game folders. Players can keep them safe by moving them to another folder.
Players who did not delete these add-ons and wish to restore them can do so by moving the files back to the "AddOns" folder.

If you are running an anti-virus software, we suggest for you to add exceptions for The Elder Scrolls Online to it. Each antivirus program is different and we recommend that players view the antivirus developer's website for full instructions on how to add exceptions. The application files that may require exceptions are:
Bethesda.net_launcher
ESO.exe
Steam.exe
ESO64.exe
Some antivirus programs require entire folders to be selected instead of a single file.When this is the case, the file paths below are what players should use. If required by the anti-virus program, include all subfolders since every file is critical to run the game.
Next, since you are launching through Steam we advise for you to try the following:
Verify your game cache:
Right click the game in your Steam Library.
Go to Properties then the LocalFiles tab.
Click Verify Integrity of Game Cache.
Wait for it to complete.
This should remove any potentially corrupt or broken files and allow the game to run.
Disable the Steam Overlay:
Open Steam and click Settings.
Select the In-Game tab.
Uncheck the box next to Enable Steam Community while in-Game and click OK.
Disable the Steam Overlay on specific games only by right-clicking on the game title, selecting Properties, and unchecking Enable Steam Community In-Game in the General tab.
Restart Steam and launch the game again.
