Why does Epic Games Launcher keep crashing on Windows 10?

After installing and updating the Epic Games Launcher on Windows 10 the launcher opens briefly in background processes, then closes. Nothing appears onscreen, no pop up, no error.
Below is a portion of my dxdiag.txt file. Please help. Thank you.
