I have attempted to start my workstation, close any startup programs, with nothing but the essential windows processes running,
- Start the Epic Games Launcher
- Directly launched the project
- Successfully packaged for Win64
- Opened Task Manager
- Found the process displaying in the Applications and Processes tabs
- Exit the Editor
- The process then disappeared from the Applications tab (as expected)
- Switched to the Processes tab and watched the process continue to run for an extended period of time still
I have also tried doing a Clean Boot to see if the issue would still occur, and it did. I then tried again with doing a normal boot and leaving my startup programs running and the issue still occurred. From all of that no programs should have been latching onto the editor process.
