How do I stop the Epic Games Launcher from popping up after closing a game?

The Epic Games Launcher does not have the feature to disable this behavior.

As a workaround, you disable the Minimize to System Tray setting in the Epic Games Launcher and close Epic Games Launcher after launching a game. The launcher client should not pop up again after you have closed your game.

1. Launch Epic Game Launcher.
2. Select the Player Icon (circle with initials) in the upper-right-hand corner.
3. Select Settings.
4. Under preferences, uncheck Minimize To System Tray.
