Well you gotta enter to the Windows Explorer then were the games are installed usually on the drive c and on Program Files then you enter the folder of the game and search a .exe if it asks for account sign in beacuse it will open a browser tab.

That will not work for some games without the EGS application running in the background (and most likely properly logged in) as I've checked with what I have installed and whilst 3 of the 4 games work without issue and without EGS running the forth (subnautica) will instantly close before reaching the title screen unless EGS is running.

 

The OP is likely going to run into similar issues especially if the game is DRM locked to the EGS application (it might not be an issue if it uses DRM that isn't linked to EGS unless it too checks to see if it is running).

Oh Ok, I recommended that idea beacuse it worked to me when there was an internet outage.
