UnrealEditor (MacOS) doesn't quit, have to force quit every time

Development Getting Started & Setup

Running on

  • MacBook Pro M1 Max Sonoma 14.4.1
  • Unreal Engine 5.3.

The Epic Games Launcher can be quit without any issues by right clicking it and selecting quit in the Dock.
The UnrealEditor however stays open, it doesn’t react to that, I have to go to the ActivityMonitor and force quit.
So when opening one project, closing that then opening another project and closing it, I have two UnrealEditors open, when opening and closing a third project it simply adds to that.
It doesn’t even look like that the Editor is crashing (I think I only got once or twice a crash report window), most of the time there is no crash report window, so I guess the editors didn’t crash.

Anything I can do here?

Same for me. Just force quit three instances of UE 5.4 open on dock (but not open anywhere in terms of a working window). Happens every time.

I am having the same issue - UE 5.4 must be force quit after the program has quit. Sometimes, the crash reporter will need to be force quit, also.

Otherwise, UE is running as well if not faster than on my PC.
