Fix Epic Games Launcher is running

Epic Games is a platform from where it is possible to create our account to access a complete portfolio of games that range from paid to free and in different segments (strategy, races, first person, etc.) and thanks to Epic Games Launcher we will have the management total of these, either to acquire new ones, eliminate current ones or control access. When processes are running at the same time, it is possible to have problems with the different tasks, so it is good to be able to stop those processes in Windows 10 that we do not want to be running..

 

It is normal that after using Epic Games Launcher we continue working in Windows 10 but we see a message indicating that Epic Games Launcher is running. This can be due to failures in the processes or services that remain active or due to own errors. Whatever the scenario, if you get this error without using Epic Games, TechnoWikis will explain how to solve it in a comprehensive way.
