I just tried this and I don't see it myself.

Does this happen every time for you? How far do you need to get into the game before this happens?
 
Yes it happens every time. I just tested and I only have to start the launcher and close it for it to happen. I also checked if the paradox launcher process is still running but its not.
 
Hmm. What antivirus app do you use? Add Imperator.exe and Paradox Launcher.exe to its exceptions list/whitelist.
 
Is it only the IR launcher that does this for you? How about the new EU4 launcher for instance, which is basically the same?
 
EU4 didn't do it. After I ran EU4 I verified the game cache for IR and it didn't find anything, however the problem seems to be fixed now either by running EU4 or verifying the cache.
