Force quitting Steam will make Launchbox quit itself too.

I get this error when I force quit steam. I need to do this because I use SteamLink to remote my PC into my bedroom for movies and games. I've found the most elegant way to quit the stream when I am finished is to execute a .bat script I wrote that essentially just kills steam, waits a moment, then runs steam again (so it is ready to be remoted into at any time). The problem is if Launchbox is open, it doesn't seem like that steam was killed, and it decides to quit itself too, with this error.

Launchbox 7.14 (latest)
Windows 10
Every time I force quit Steam.
Kill Steam using command line, wait about 10-20 minutes (ish), and Launchbox will error and quit itself. * Error at Launchbox quit:
