At this moment there is no fix for this issue, however, there are workarounds. A good idea is to link Epic Games Launcher to GOG Galaxy, which has a built-in feature to automatically close ‘original’ launchers after the game is shut down. This way the launcher will no longer be working in the background once users leave the game.

It is also reported that EGL sends 14x as much data as Steam and NVIDIA Experience while working in the background.


Epic games distributes Cyberpunk 2077.
