Troubleshooting

UEFN is stuck running in the epic launcher​

The reason for this is a backround service called urc.exe that fails to exit. Hopefully Epic will eventually fix this issue, but a workaround exists. Save the below script as a .bat file to your desktop and then run it. The script below will close the urc.exe background process. IF all else fails, you can also either sign out of or restart your computer.

@echo off

:: Display a message indicating the script is running
echo Attempting to kill "urc.exe" process...

:: Use taskkill to terminate the process
taskkill /F /IM urc.exe >nul 2>&1

:: Check if the process was successfully terminated
if %errorlevel% equ 0 (
    echo "urc.exe" process terminated successfully.
) else (
    echo Failed to terminate "urc.exe". The process may not be running or you lack the necessary permissions.
)

:: Pause to allow the user to see the result (optional)
pause
