Well it's at least reassuring (i think) to know it's not just me. Although, I'm not sure I would personally say that it's from the 5.0 update. This was happening to me even before the 5.0 update, and it's been reported in the past as well. But obviously, there seems to be some kind of compatibility issue with the swtor executable and Windows. Bioware, what up?

So, I've been able to dig up some old threads for this issue, but they were from like 5 years ago and did not necessarily pertain to my situation (at least the threads I found). Running Windows 8.1 Professional 8 GB of RAM i5 Quad Core CPU (4690k) EVGA GTX 960 FTW GPU Just about every single time I log out and go to exit the game, it just hangs on a black screen with the yellow/gold mouse cursor still present. I then have to Ctrl+Alt+Del, go into task manager, and then kill the swtor.exe process (which reports that it is not responding btw). The old threads I found were for XP machines, and I didn't really see any solid fix or suggestion. Well, it's now 5 years later, and I'm wondering if there are any suggestions/fixes for this issue? Repair to be run? Files/Patches to be installed? Anything? Any help or advice is greatly appreciated.
