Heya have you got all the VC redistributables installed on your systems ?

4

what are those i cant even open it it just says running then launch or tbb.dll not found

Can confirm this is happening, it tries to find a dll that is missing, it is present in the FN folder. If you copy everything in UEFNS installation folder to Fortnites one the editor can startup. But ofc it will not function as it should, you will not be able to access any shared maps with teams or use revision control and so on so on…

tbb.dll is a file installed by the Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 Redistributable

There are so many posts about this issue, so installing it may not work.

My UEFN works, but I have not installed the latest version of VC++ 2015, just one from one of my harddrives about a year old.

You can get the latest from microsoft

I have all the C++ Redistributables downloaded, all of them are the latest and UEFN still doesn’t work.
To make this bug happen you have to uninstall uefn and reinstall it completely, since seems like in the last UEFN update they have changed the installation path for UEFN to a separate folder, and its not in the Fortnite game folder itself. Its instead in Fortnite_Studio under "C:\Program Files\Epic Games". If you have updated UEFN sicne the last update and did not reinstall it, the installation path stays the same (Under Fortnite directory), so you have to do a clean UEFN install.
