A few days ago, it was discovered that Cyberpunk 2077 was running poorly on AMD Ryzen processors. Now, the Epic Games Store launcher seems to be having issues with Ryzen processors. Even when running in the background, it causes an increase in the temperature of AMD processors.
It seems that the launcher of the Epic Games Store is still in the background, it consumes resources from the Ryzen processors. Obviously, this misuse of the processor is far from common. Anyone who has Steam (or another application) running in the background will see that it has no resource consumption, except if it runs.

Specifically, it seems that some processor threads perform unnecessary tasks. Due to this use, the processor works at a higher temperature. According to several Reddit users, the difference can be up to +20ºC.
It is not the only problem with this launcher, since it would also make an excessive consumption of GPU. Users report up to 10% consumption of the GPU when it is running in the foreground. When the launchar of the Epic Games Store goes to the background, consumption drops to 3-6%.
Epic Games has yet to comment on these issues. The normal thing would be for the company to correct this problem as soon as possible. The whole problem is due to poor app optimization.
Note that it is not the first time that the application of the Epic Games Store has been involved in controversy. When the app was launched, it was found to hunt the data of users who had Steam running. The data, which included username and their personal library, was sent to Epic Games.
