Launcher gets stuck, can't even exit

For clarity, this is not about my other thread where the launcher simply refuses to show a window. This is on another system.

The launcher gets stuck saying something like "Checking for updates", and when I try to close the launcher after losing patience, it instead gets stuck at the text "Shutting down" in the top left corner of the window.

  • After forcing the task to exit and starting the launcher again, it manages to offer the play button. Server glitch that is not well received in the launcher?

    set the launcher to compatabulity for windows 8 to be sure, but otherwise common cause is the launcher gets stuck when the AV blocks the update, as the launcher is based on the chromium files, so it can get treated as web browser
