If you have problems with launching Visual Studio 2013 from editor

Actually it’s not a question, but an answer :slight_smile:
I recently had problems with launching Visual Studio 2013 from the Editor.

Make sure if your VS is configured to be run as administrator, and if so, do the following:

  1. Find the “UnrealEngineLauncher.exe” from here: {Installation Root}\Launcher\Engine\Binaries\Win64
  2. Right click it and choose the “Troubleshoot compatibility”
  3. Click “Troubleshoot program” option
  4. Check the “The program requres additional permissions” checkbox
  5. Click “Next”
  6. Click “Test the program…” and wait until the launcher is fully loaded
  7. Click “Next” and then “Close”

This simple guide is for Windows 8+, and actually from now, the Epic Games Launcher and Editor will be always started as Administrator.

P.S.
This trick works for every program :slight_smile: Enjoy!
