[Solution] How to change Unreal projects folder

Since original discussion is closed, I’ll post my solution here

  1. Close Epic Games Launcher & Unreal Engine
  2. Move your project to a new folder
  3. Open %LOCALAPPDATA%\EpicGamesLauncher\Saved\Config\Windows\GameUserSettings.ini and update CreatedProjectPaths parameter accordingly
  4. Done!

Now you can see all the precious projects listed in the Launcher’s Library, but what if you still can’t find them in Unreal Engine itself (File > Open Project…)
Well, just create a new project in your new default projects folder :wink:
