Fortnite not working after update for Season 5

Solution 1:

3 methods I have used to solve this problem are

  • Run as admin (right click -> run as admin)
  • Restart your pc as occasionally files get locked by other processes and restarting can fix this.
  • Reinstall the program. Occasionally the update gets messed up for a variety of reasons, and the only way to fix is reinstalling the app or running a repair tool if they have one.
