Hi Brian, Give your client a restart, and then you should find a new tab on the Unreal Engine part of the launcher! 🙂 ---

I had to kill the open Epic processes running as well (even after shutting down the launcher), and then re-launch the launcher and the tab appeared. ---

Actually, you don’t need to restart the PC, but instead of closing the launcher, you need to Exit it in the System tray. And then click here: ![Screenshot_5](https://d3kjluh73b9h9o.cloudfront.net/original/3X/6/6/66d0ebbadf7cb4276fb5bad263df05c1879f9751.png) This helps me. ---
