EG Launcher fails to launch editor. editor.exe fails as well

i am having the same issue, even installed all updates that were available, added new targets to the launcher, added physical exceptions to the firewall.

when i checked task manager unrealcefsubprocess sits at 0% epicgameslauncher sits at 1%, doesnt connect.
checked with wireshark, no packets being sent out.

this is a epicgames issue, not a OS issue.
