Hi GameDesignHero, You said the editor doesn’t launch. What exactly is happening? Do you receive any sort of Crash popup window? Also, have you tried launching the .exe as Admin? ---

Tried to Launch the Editor per Launcher and the 64bit.exe. The little popup window from UE4 Ediotr pops up, with the comment “loading”. After 3-6 Seconds the window disappeared without any crash report. Tried to launch as Admin, no result, same issue ---

You said above that you tried other solution on AnswerHub. Have you tried the two below? - Disable any Anti-Virus software which is running in the background? - Restart your system. - Uninstall and reinstall UE4? If these do not fix the issue, please post your dxdiag. Direction on how to find this can be found in the link posted above. ---

Above you said that you tried the 64bit.exe, was it the .exe from this file path? YourDrive:\Program Files\Unreal Engine\4.4\Engine\Binaries\Win64\UE4Editor.exe If you could, please try this .exe. If it still doesn’t execute then it isn’t a Launcher related issue and I’ll post back with more suggestions. ---

Can you look in this folder and post any logs you find? \UE4\Engine\Saved\Logs\UE4.log Unfortunately if you just disabled your antivirus or firewall that may not be enough. In some cases they will need to be uninstalled. One program that we know conflicts is called PC Tools made by Symantec. If you have a copy of that installed, try uninstalling it. ---
