Exiting the Game results in Black Screen / Requires Forced Shut Down

To: FF14 Dev Team,

There's a "Crash Bug" of sorts that has started occurring since the Patch got released:

Playing in Full Screen Mode, when you properly Exit out of the game (in a Sanctuary (like Limsa)), the game does not properly quit / exit, resulting in a Full Screen Black Screen (w/ no Mouse or Windows viewable).

I have to manually CONTROL + ALT + DELETE and bring up Task Manager to force shutdown of Final Fantasy XIV.exe.

Please fix this!

Time: 3:28 p.m. Pacific
Frequency: 75%
World name: Masamune
Character name: Kiara Silvermoon
NPC name: n/a
Monster name: n/a
Class/Level: Paladin / 50
Party or solo: Solo
In-game time: 10:00 a.m. Eorzea
Area and coordinates: Limsa Lominsa (anywhere in the city).

Steps:
1. Load up Final Fantasy XIV in Full Screen Mode. (FYI: I run an Nvidia GeForce Graphics Card (660 Ti).)

2. Once in the game, play for a bit (anything), and then choose to Exit from the game while in a Sanctuary (like Limsa Lominsa).

Result: Final Fantasy XIV program appears to exit out of the game (music, graphics stop), but I'm left with a Full Screen "Black Screen" with No Mouse or Icons visible.

I have to manually hit Control + Alt + Delete Keys to force the Windows Task Manager to appear and force shutdown "Final Fantasy XIV.exe"

This only started happening recently, perhaps something w/ the Patch 2.3?

Had this happen on the PS4 also yesterday. Haven't been able to play today yet to see of it does it again.

This was been happening to me since 2.28. Best thing I've been doing was force close from the task manager

I play in Windowed Borderless not Fullscreen btw
