Hello,
CTRL+F5 unfortunately did nothing.
The services have been restarted, unfortunately restarting the machine is (currently) not an option. I will leave it be for the weekend and hope it's resolved on monday morning like https://forum.eset.com/topic/5110-login-failed-communication-error/. If not i'll post back here and contact ESET support, if the issue gets solved I'll make sure to post the solution here.
