Offline until I click [Stores>Epic Store] and the page loads

I am on the latest 2.18.0 version now but I have had this issue for awhile and had just been clicking the store page before I launch an online game. Here is a log before I click the store page https://0x0.st/85Lx.log Here is a log after I click the store page https://0x0.st/85Lg.log Is there a way to have it connect upon launch without having to first click the Epic Store page?
