Epic launcher doesn't separate UEFN and Fortnite as a service, if Fortnite crashes then UEFN has to be stopped to repoen Fortnite from launcher

Summary

This has been a long standing issue that really needs resolving. The Epic Games Launcher does not separate out between UEFN and Fortnite so if UEFN is running then it’s impossible to launch Fortnite from the launcher. These are two different apps and should be treated as such in the launcher.
