ok so background info: my pc is windows 10, its pretty old (like over 10 years) but still runs games pretty well (valorant is a good example). ive tried uninstalling and reinstalling, ive tried verifying my files, deleting temp files, and running everything as administrator. what happens is, i’ll go to install fortnite from the epic games launcher and itll install in like 30 ish minutes with no problem. after it finishes installing ill go to open fortnite to play and itll go from the epic games launcher to the fortnite anti cheat and say initializing. then, itll go BACK to the epic games launcher almost like it crashed. it did that a couple times and in the beginning, i went to uninstall fortnite in my settings but fortnite wasnt there at all. its like when i re install fortnite, it creates a shortcut with nothing on it and thats all it does. PLEASE help if you know whats wrong. ive been trying to fix this problem for months and its so irritating.
reinstall windows
