I think I may have figured part of it out. I deleted everything unreal engine on my computer including Bridge and Mixer, then did a restart. Then I reinstalled the launcher. Next I installed a new version (5.0.3) and just launched it without adding anything extra like Bridge or Mixer and it works!
However when I downloaded 5.4 it crashed again. It asked me to verify the install and that still doesn’t work. My Installed Plugin now shows Bridge since it was in my library. So it seems this is a version issue or an issue with Bridge. Any thoughts?
