Did you ever get an answer to this? Not sure if this is going to help you two years later, but I had the same issue and found a solution for my problem. After trying multiple times, I noticed windows 10 had notifications for blocking Unreal.exe from making unauthorized changes to a protected folder. I went into my security settings and told Windows to allow Unreal to make changes to the protected folder. Relaunch Unreal after that and it worked fine.

I hope this helps if you didn’t get the answer you were looking for so long ago.

Could you please tell us how you did this? Can’t find any such settings in the Control Panel of Windows 10. Thanks!
