Epic Games Updater

This only applies to Windows users and does not affect users on other platforms. 

The Epic Games Updater is a process used for delivering automatic updates to the Epic Games Launcher with improved security. 

It is installed as a Windows Service during a fresh install of the Epic Games Launcher or during a future update for players with the Epic Games Launcher already installed. This Windows service is only active during the self-update process and does not run all the time.

Those wishing to access the new updater during our initial rollout can enable it through a button in the Settings menu.
