Fresh install of windows 10 64bit.

**The steps I took several times:**  
Unreal Website click get unreal.  
Click windows and it starts to download  
Double click the downloaded executable (also tried right click run as admin and compatibility modes)

The installer starts and seems to finish…  
Click on the Epic Games Launcher Icon  
verifies 100% then error… Unable to start correctly (0xc000007b) Click OK to close the application.

**-=-**  
Tried reinstalling mvc++ 2012, 2010, 2013, 2015 etc etc and other tricks in other threads.  
Tried running as admin, and compatibility modes.  
Tried re-downloading and reinstalling.

**Found a FIX** for Windows 10 Pro

**1.:** Search for “updates” and go to windows updates.

**2.:** Click on Developer

**3.:** Radio box developers

**4.:** Reboot Machine

It now loads up the launcher!!..

This works and lets you install what you want on your machine and not what Microsoft wants you to…
