i think its deffo update related and i strongly feel that the update changed files and windows defender or your own anti virus doesn’t like it and blocks it
I don’t wanna show my firewall things on here for obv reasons but deffo check to ensure its not blocking anything related to epic.
I had the exact same issues like a replica and thats what caused mine so i somewhat feel you have the same issue
a quick google search will show how to check on any program or windows default one
Is they a web address related to the system when you launch session people can copy and paste into their web browser to check if its being blocked by virus software ???
This would be so good for people if they was something the team could suggest
@thechironsson also ensure you verify the installation i did this also
