The "Continue running background apps" Toggle: This setting is designed to let lightweight web apps (like messaging or email notifications) stay active in the background after you close your browser windows.

The Chromium Update Manager: Chromium-based browsers often have a separate system-level process that remains running to silently check for and apply browser updates in the background. It does this to keep your browser secure with the latest patches without you needing to remember to update it. This process typically runs independently of the main browser windows. An official response from the Epic team in their forum pointed to this exact behavior, stating, "Don't worry about Epic background apps. It's update manager works in background to give you the latest updates from us".
