Info from the addon/tool's description:
Warning:
If you capture traces over multiple minutes, the resulting file will become very large and opening it will consume multiple gigabytes of ram. In case the viewer crashes while loading the file you can try to increase the allowed heap size. Just change the value "--max-old-space-size=4096" in package.json from 4096 (MB) to a higher one, but be warned that it can consume all your memory and slow down or crash your system!
The same applies to the ESO information that needs to be stored somewhere -> SavedVariables. If they get too big - Crash.

ESO profiler writes a lot of data (functions names, their data & time called, runtime info about variables etc.) and thus, if the files get too big as said before in my one post, the game crashes at logout/login, or maybe before logout it will crash to the desktop sometimes as well.
Be sure to ONLY enable ONE addon (and needed libraries), or at least only a few to test together, if you run ESO Profiler!
Be sure to only profile a decent short time (your use-case/test case) and not several minutes!

The more addons + libs you enable -> the more data read and written to SV -> the earlier the max file sizes are reached -> the more obviously you get these problems.
Else you'll always run into such problems with big SV files.

To fix this it should be enough to remove big SV files *.lua, or rename them to e.g. *.lua_backup, so they are not loaded at login anymore.
Maybe some game settings files got damaged as well so try to rename the files in the SavedVariables folder which start with ZO_*.lua
(backup them before).-
Maybe also backup and rename the AddOnSettings.txt (in your live folder) and re-setup the addons to use for your characters at the login screen.
