Launcher Failing... Again

Getting Started & Setup

I’ve been using the Unreal Engine since 2017. Complaints about the launcher being slow were always common. But I have never seen the launcher consistently fail to download as it has been prone to do lately.

I’m trying to install a version, any version, of UE5. But the dropdown list is not properly populated. All versions are listed as .0 (image attached). From my desktop, I know that I cannot DL a version until that dropdown list is properly populated. What that cause could be, I have no idea.

I’ve been waiting over eight hours for this download to happen.

All checks in Troubleshooting are green (nice feature, btw)
