Do stay vigilant of course, in the olden days there were dozens of threads like this: > [@Why is Epic Game Launcher Maxing out my CPU Usage?](https://forums.unrealengine.com/t/why-is-epic-game-launcher-maxing-out-my-cpu-usage/399947): > > Recently I was playtesting and My system reported a CPU Temp warning. I run a water cooled i7 6800k which normally runs between 26 and 28 degrees C even under heavy load so I was very surprised. I check my system dashboard and my cpu usage was 96% which is again very unusual. When I looked at task manager it showed Epic Games launcher was using 70% of my CPU and it wasn’t actually doing anything. I cant think of any reason why the launcher would need this kind of horsepower and in a system whi… Never experienced it myself, but too many folks reported the launcher using 70%+ CPU time _consistently_ for it to be just a fluke. That should not be happening and is no longer a thing (that anyone talks about, at least). --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.unrealengine.com/t/unreal-engine-using-all-of-my-cpu-and-none-of-my-gpu/591729)._
