This issue is now happening 100% of the time for me. After I exit the game in any way(quit game via menu, game crash, closing the game via windows resource management), if I try to launch the game again without a full computer reboot, the game gets stuck on loading before the zenimax/bethesda logo animations. This is not merely lag, the game never launches (I tried waiting, still stuck after 20 minutes) Only a full computer reboot clears this issue (merely restarting the game launcher does not help).
While this is not a game breaking issue since it can be cleared with full reboot, if coupled with other issues (like the infinite loading times entering/exiting dungeons or using wayshrines) it causes the game quickly becoming unplayable. Also it is a clear sign that there is something wrong.
