this happened on the most up to date version as well. Just playing a previous patch because the game speed goes at a crawl in 1.31.*.
 
Let's try a clean reinstall of Steam and game then:

- move any valued save games elsewhere
- "uninstall" in Steam-EU4
- exit the Steam app entirely
- manually delete both the Steam/SteamApps/common/EU4 AND Documents/Paradox Interactive/EU4 folders
- delete everything in the Steam folder EXCEPT steam.exe and the SteamApps folder
- run steam.exe to rebuild all that
- re-install game in Steam, run a Steam Verify when done.
- add EU4.exe to the exceptions list of your antivirus app; ESPECIALLY if you have Windows Defender, add it to the Ransomware "Apps Allowed Through" list.
- start the game with no mods active and test

Good luck with tha!

None of it worked. This update has something to do with it. It's happening every time I close my game. I have to hard restart my steam to be able to launch it.
 
This is not a one of problem, I have the same problem, and I have yet to find a way to solve it. No other game on steam has this problem for me. no task for it is running, the steam button for stopping the game is not working. only thing that does it, is to quit steam and start it up again, but as I am playing other slow games at the same time which some times take hours before you can get saved, it is quite irritating that because you have quit eu 4 at one point you cannot start it again before a restart of steam.
