Epic Games Launcher stuck at "Please wait until the update starts"

Hello everyone,

I am having another issue with the Epic Games Launcher. When I try to launch it, the message “Please wait until the update starts” appears and the launcher doesn’t proceed beyond this point.

I’ve tried waiting for a long time, but the update never seems to start. This issue persists even after multiple attempts and system restarts. I’m currently using a 64-bit Windows system.

Is anyone else experiencing this issue, or has anyone encountered this in the past? Any advice or solutions to overcome this problem would be highly appreciated.

Thank you.
