Can't open the launcher because it just keeps auto-cycling into Update.
Do you mean Steam keeps cycling into update? Tuesday is Steam Maintenance day, its likely whatever regional server you're connected to is rebooting/upgrading/under some sort of maintenance. If you wait a few minutes, reboot Steam, it will likely complete the update cycle then.

If you're referring to the launcher cycling into auto-update: Go to start, Add/Remove Programs, and uninstall Paradox Launcher V2. Then attempt to restart the game, the launcher will download and r... Read more

Yes, from the OP:
Unable to click the UI/buttons offset
This appears to be an issue related to the game resolution setting and Direct X 11. People have been reporting that pressing alt+tab or alt+enter on the game will resolve the issue temporarily.

For a more permanent fix: In the launcher, go to Game Settings, and ensure that your resolution is set correct... Read more

You're on 3.7.2? Then you haven't been getting updates for awhile, the latest version of 3.7 was 3.7.4.

Right click Stellaris, Properties, Betas tab and make sure it says "None" in the dropdown.

Stellaris Dev Diary #297 - Leaders, The Council, and Agendas

Post
Hello everyone! I’m XM, the lead designer of Galactic Paragons. From the beginning of development, we’ve followed one simple mantra - make leaders matter. What you are going to read about in the following paragraphs are the results of months of work following that direction.

Wishlist Galactic Paragons[pdxint.at]!

Reducing Leader Count
For leaders to start being significant, there needed to be a lot less of them. With this goal in mind, we removed the research scientist positions currently in the game, and combined them into a single “Head of Research” Council position (we’ll talk in more detail about the Council later). We also allowed leaders to perform Council duties while maintaining their field positions. These changes dramatically reduced the number of leaders you need to keep track of.

The lower leader... Read more

whats going on at launch that takes almost 10 minutes?

Does it take this long without mods? My setup takes ~40 seconds to load and I don't have a great computer.

I suggest nuking your old save files and oos folder, since these grow rather large sometimes. You can also manually delete your /steamapps/stellaris folder and then re-download, since something doesn't seem right here.

If none of this stuff fixes it, go to support.paradoxplaza.com and open a ticket, customer support should be able to help you with this.

In a war for independence you do not gain claims, you only gain your independence.

Mod is causing a crash when the AI evaluates a building.

Comment
    MrFreake_PDX on Steam Forums - Thread - Direct
It has been my experience that when you experience a modded crash, you very rarely get the error message that caused the crash. (because, the game is crashing and can't log errors at this point).

Your best bet is to go through your modlist, disable any out of date mods, and see if that resolves the issue. If not, you can disable them in batches to see what group of mods is causing the problem, then disable them one by one until you find the culprit.

So my idea:
Sectors and Planets
In the section "Planets and sectors" you should add a possibility to manage the planets.
First each sector with an icon to show planets in the sector.
Then a possibility to "auto" build/upgrade on planets.
Here's a Montu video that explains how planetary automation works:
