    I Reinstalled Windows 10 testing. I installed Epic Game Launcher and some Virus problems.


    I had CMD shortcut on desktop. After EPIC games installed, the Icon went Blank white. Opening File Location instead opened File Manager in Search mode.Trojan piggybacking on Windows Search.Maybe drill down on securing Windows?Other strange behavior. Programs double, triple or more launching. When it was launched only one time.

    Epic Games Launcher

    I got this computer from my step dad, he got it from his insurance company. When I open Epic Games launcher I can see the logo but the rest is blank. Is there a file I need to remove? I really would love any suggestions

    I Reinstalled Windows 10 testing. I installed Epic Game Launcher and some Virus problems.

    EOS-ERR-1602 when installing Epic Online Services component to Epic Games Launcher in Windows 11

    I have been troubleshooting with Epic Games and none of the solutions they came up with worked for me, so the agent suggested I ask Microsoft for guidance since EOS-ERR codes are related to the MSI installer.

    This is what I have tried:

    Reinstalling the Epic Games Launcher

    Updating Windows 11 and restarting the computer

    Running Epic Games Launcher as administrator

    Granting Read and Write permissions to Epic Games Launcher

    Shutting down Windows Installer Service and then attempting the install

    Running the Install and Uninstall Troubleshooter from Microsoft

    Relocating Epic Launcher to my main drive

    Even after all these actions I still get a prompt to install Epic Online Services from the Epic Games Launcher, and when I tried to install it I get the EOS-ERR-1602 error code when it fails to install.

    Anyone know any next steps?

    Thank you for reading this.
