Not sure if any of you play video games, after I installed this launcher it made Daz and a few other programs unable to launch anymore after I unistalled the Epic launcher daz was usable again. Any ideas why this would happen?

    How do you launch DS? If you double-cxlick a scene file, rather than an application short cut, then it's possible that the launcher also uses the .duf extension and so the launch calls go to it instead

    I never had this issue but you could kill Epic launcher in task manager first and see if that fixes it, I often do along with a pile of other startup programs if I am going to render a long animation.

    Just tested, and Daz Studio did start up for me while Epic Launcher was running in the background. Not saying that it can't cause problems for you, just that it's not happening on my computer.

    I usually don't have launchers running in the background on my computer though, first thing I do with all of them is prevent them from booting up at windows startup, and I make it a point to completely shut down any launchers after I finish playing (and exit any other unnecessary "background tasks" while I'm not using them as well, like discord and such)

    No fan of Epic and its launcher but I am not having that problem with it.

    Ok thanks everyone must be something on my end I will try reinstalling it then disable through task manager

    I'd lean toward a third piece of software being the actual culprit. AV software most likely.
