Why does UE4.27.2 say updating when I pressed "Launch" (and already had it installed)???

I already have UE4.27.2 installed (and 5.4). I opened Epic launcher (to specifically launch 4.27.2 and not 5x) > the button said LAUNCH UE4.27.2.
But instead for 20 minutes it has been “updating.”

This is very annoying and alarming. I don’t want Epic installing anything without my permission. And I dont want my 4.27.2 install changed at all in case it messes up plugins in my project. Now my computer is hijacked for an hour, 6GB of bandwidth was used without my consent, and I cant do what I intended with my time.

1. Why did Epic allow this forced install [change] without consent? (fraudulent button said LAUNCH not UPDATE)

2. And why/what is the update for 4.27.2? (I thought no more updates to 4x.)
