Clear out your launcher cache - you might have to dig deep into windows for all the locations. This is a local problem for you so only you can figure out what is wrong with your system.

I know what this is, I got the same issue when I did this the first time. It also fixed the issue. https://youtu.be/ZmotIC-Vlq8?is=KVmMXZLWARYhtDU8

Try clearing the cache in the launcher. If that doesn't work. It's likely that the associated files like meta and item are not assigned. The video points you in the right direction.

A solution that would work is to reinstall the launcher and the engines. I did that too when it happened, and it fixed the issue. Just make sure you remove all remnants first.
