Why is my Epic Games launcher crashing on startup?
Epic Games Launcher installs but won’t launch. I don’t get a sign in window or anything. I can see it boot up for a split second in the task manager but then it immediately crashes.
The specs on my computer support the use of the software:
1080 nvidia card (FULLY UPDATED)
i7 processor
windows 10 64 bit
This computer is new, I just started using it this morning.
Here’s an exerpt from the DxDiag notepad doc concerning this issue:

You can see it gets interrupted. I made another log and it seems like it gets interrupted at a different spot everytime, as if somethings keeping it from running.
Please help. I use this engine for work. I can’t move into another engine at this point and I’ve tried literally everything (uninstalling, reinstalling, repairing, running different pieces of code in the properties windows, going thru the msconfig and booting up with minimal programs, updating video card drivers)
Please can someone tell me what’s going on???
Thanks
