When I close the game, it remains as a black screen

This is an issue that happens rather often, when I close the game, instead of properly closing, it gets "stuck" as a black screen.

I cannot close it, I can't use task manager as I have no way to see it or interact with it, because the black screen is overiding any and all visuals. My only option so far has been restarting my computer.

I can Tab into the game, and it looks like this, but every other window is not visible at all. This does not happen with any other game or app.

The same thing has been happening to me for weeks.

Good afternoon and thank you for posting on the Final Fantasy XIV Technical Support Forums.

I apologize for the delay in responding to your concern. What have you tried so far to alleviate the issue? Additionally can you provide a system report? Simply go to the 'Config' option on the Final Fantasy XIV launcher and to the right of 'System Information' click on 'Display.'

Thank you for visiting the Final Fantasy XIV Technical Support Forums.
