This ticket will automatically reopen when you reply.
Yes, the issue still occurs with the latest version of the launcher, version 1097 (1).
Older Mac OS, Big Sur (11.6).
I haven't measured the amount of time or experimented much with it. I've just noticed that if I start the launcher, start Minecraft, then immediately quit the launcher, it closes normally. It only seems to hang after leaving it open form some time.
For me, the steps to reproduce are pretty simple. Start the launcher, use it to start a Minecraft process, play Minecraft for a while, exit the game, then try to quit the launcher. Note that the hanging behavior is not specific to quitting; the launcher also stop responding in other respects, too. For example, the launcher will also hang when attempting to start another Minecraft process.
Thank you for your report!

Can confirm. A bit more information:
This behavior (the launcher hanging when quitting) started around the time I migrated my Mojang account to a Microsoft account. Could be related, but could also be coincidence.
After opening the launcher, for a short time I can quit the launcher and it will terminate normally (regardless of whether I launched any installations). It's only after a while that the launcher will hang when quitting.
