Found a fix.

The current workaround is to delete the folder “Battle.net.14542”. You have to
do this for each restart.
“???/drive_c/Program Files (x86)/Battle.net/Battle.net.14542”

This will only work if you have an earlier version like a “Battle.net.14494”
folder there too.

Hello,

Multiple concurrent reports, collecting.

The mentioned workaround is not usable if you have to login, as the app will
update and force you to restart before you have a chance to enter your
credential.

Regards.
