I have been assuming this was the typical experience of a Launcher crash but please advise if not and it might point me towards something I can tinker with.

Yeah I imagine most people don't actually distinguish between a "crash" and a "crash to desktop". In fact I'm sure from the technical standpoint it's all pretty much the same thing. In the common vernacular a CTD is a crash where there's no error reported/displayed, and you just get the desktop unexpectedly whereas a crash displays an error.

But it's one of those acronyms that someone started using and everyone else seems to have picked up.
