    The launcher window closes just fine on my PC, but leaves an icon in the quick launch system tray; is that what you mean? If I just move the mouse cursor over the icon without even clicking on it, it goes away.
    Mine does that as well; sometimes I'll build up over a dozen of them if I don't think to open my system tray for a while. Is there a reason this happens, or is it just a ZOS Thing?

    Do you not shutdown or restart your system? I shutdown my system every day... have for years. I don't trust Windows ability to manage memory leaks no matter what they say, so I never leave it on for long periods without either restarting or shutting down, especially if I'm not going to be home.

    As for my experience with the launcher, I never use it except when it needs to be patched, otherwise I just launch from the .exe.
    Eh, not all that often, no. I usually just set it to Sleep overnight and restart/shut down every so often, such as for Windows updates and after things like updating my GPU drivers.

    As for the OP, it started happening to me today after the patch. I tried to close the launcher but it got stuck and had to be closed with the Task Manager.
