"EpicGamesLauncher has stopped working"

Hello, I just went to download UE4 yesterday, and as soon as I downloaded and installed initial launcher file, I was greeted with this error message.

“EpicGamesLauncher has stopped working. A problem caused program to stop working correctly. Windows will close program and notify you if a solution is available.”

Needless to say it was rather unwanted. Sometimes it crashes immediately. Others when I click on Unreal Engine tab of launcher. Please, I really need to fix this. Id post a launch report if I could, but for some reason those files are not anywhere to be found on my computer, at least not anywhere Ive looked.

Thanks

Zack

Hi Zack,

Please take a look at our Launcher Troubleshooting Guide and see if anything there helps:

If not, please and attach your dxdiag and launcher logs, as described in guide. Thanks!

Already tried every option from troubleshooting page. Nothing helped. I can get dxdiag, (but I have DX11 so theres that) but how do I get launcher logs?
