Launcher Crashing on startup - Serialization Error : Action Needed

I found a fix to this:

Navigate to the following:

%APPDATA%\Local\UnrealEngine

And delete the 4.12 folder (or whatever engine version you’re having an issue with).

It’s as simple as that. The next time you launch 4.12, it will take slightly longer as it’s rebuilding some data, but it should work.
