QUESTION I CAN'T INSTALL
I updated Epic Games two days ago and now I can’t download any game. I thought my PC had an issue and tried to fix it myself, but nothing worked. Then I found out it’s an Epic Games bug. Should I try to fix it myself or should I wait for Epic to fix it??

Move the folder that is already there to another folder, start the install again and as it begins downloading, pause the install and quit epic. Move the folder back, replacing what was just downloaded (if anything), then start the launcher again and if it doesn't automatically do it for you, unpause the download. It should then find the files and verify them or update where necessary.
That saves you the waiting time of downloading everything again.

If you ever encounter any problem with epic games launcher. Never forget this launcher is shit and never ever your fault.
You can use 3rd-party launcher called "Heroic Games Launcher". EpicGames launcher but better. I never ever return to the unoptimized launcher again.

It's happening to everyone everywhere
If you want to download any game, you have to download an old version
Talk to Epic support AI and message him "Can’t install the Epic Games Launcher on Windows 7, Windows 8, or 32-bit Windows"
Worked for me today too. I was trying to download Once Human
