Launcher crash

My epic games launcher hasn’t been working it has never opened properly. it will ONLY open for updates than close immediately after. I got my pc for Christmas this year. it has 8 GB of ram 1tb of storage and a new Intel graphics card it is hp. it works just fine tho on my old 2009 Acer aspire. does anyone know how to fix this? edit, I just want to play fortnite
