According to sources, this problem is clearly manifested on Intel Tiger Lake processors. The situation was better on a Microsoft Surface Laptop with a Ryzen processor. The Epic Games Store Launcher drains the battery both when the laptop is active and when it is closed. It is reported that in the latter case, the program can reduce the autonomy of the device by two hours.
The PCWorld editor even contacted Epic Games by mail, and the company replied that there was such a problem, and they are working to fix it. Epic Games also said that power consumption depends on whether the launcher window is open.
