Can someone explain why minion will eventually not start and requires a restart?

I've been back to the game since Dec after a bit of a break. However, after awhile it will quit, or maybe I quit it. And when I start it back up, it loads like it's going to start (but never shows the window when this happens, just the "Active" task bar button), and then it will force quit with no error. No matter how many times I try. I will have to update manually or restart the computer for it to work again. Is this a known issue or is there something else at play here?
