hi @GiGA3D ,
When a new update arrives you need to run Epic Games Launcher As administrator
Delete the old shortcut
then go into the three dots next to the Unreal Engine for Fortnite (UEFN).
Select Manage and Create Shortcut. This will create a shortcut for latest Version of UEFN.
Launch UEFN double click the UEFN to Launch, or click Launch.
You can then use the new shortcut next time

sadly didnt worked, but thx for the help,
hi the update is a patch (partial).
However some of the files may have been isolated by a anti-virus program
urc.exe and urc.dll get flagged as Malware from Microsoft Defender - General / Issues and Bug Reporting - Epic Developer Community Forums
then verify again
If that does not work this means clicking uninstall.
Then re install UEFN completely

Hey, even after the latest update which happened today, I still have the same issue. I tried to Re-install UEFN completely and yet still having the same issue. I did put urc in the anti virus exception and stuff and yea nothing worked.
hi @Head_Fly ,
Please remove Epic Games Launcher (EPGL) with Windows uninstall.
Download a new latest copy of EPGL via search Engine, somehow several people have a different version of EPGL.
