Epic Games Launcher crashes on login

I added -http=wininet to the command line under the launcher shortcut and the Epic Games Launcher still crashes as soon as I press Enter or click to Sign In.

I also added the following lines to my BaseEngine.ini:

[Networking]

UseLibCurl=false

Unfortunately, the change had no effect and the launcher still crashed on login.

I’m already using OpenDNS for DNS services.

Could it be related to the fact that I have my Windows profile and Documents folder stored on a secondary drive? The launcher crashed regardless where I installed it (C: or D:), though.
