Topic states it. Any time the Bnet launcher opens, or the game closes completely, it takes 2-3 minutes to “update”. If I turn off auto update, I have to manually press update before I can play. What gives? Re-installed the battle.net launcher and same thing.
This thread is closed, but try this.
. This behavior with the Battle.net App attempting to force-update games is typically caused by corrupted local Battle.net files, a conflicting third-party program, or a Windows-level permissions issue. I recommend first “clean reinstalling” the Battle.net App to clear out any damaged or corrupted files:
Uninstall the Blizzard Battle.net App (skip Step 6 for now, we will re-install later).Next (before re-installing) let’s delete any Battle.net, Blizzard, and/or Blizzard Entertainment folders in the Windows temporary file locations below. If you don’t see all 3 folders in each location, that is okay—just delete the folders you have):
Press Windows Key + R and type: %LOCALAPPDATA%. Delete any Battle.net, Blizzard, and/or Blizzard Entertainment folders.
Repeat the process for %APPDATA%, %TEMP%, and %PROGRAMDATA%. Delete any Battle.net, Blizzard, and/or Blizzard Entertainment folders.
Finally, re-install the App .
If that does not fix it, be sure to fully update or temporarily uninstall antivirus programs which may be mistakenly blocking the Battle.net Agent from running. More information on troubleshooting security applications here , if curious.

I’ve tried reinstalling Bnet app, and there’s no antivirus on my PC
I have had this issue before when running the game on a exfat file system. Installing to a drive with NTFS fixed it for me
This is happening on my Mac install of the game as well.
