Wait for the process to complete. Then restart your computer and try playing the game. Hopefully, these three fixes will resolve the issue for you. If they are to no avail, then we can conclude that your game files are neither corrupted nor missing and we should check some other solution.
4] Check your anti-cheat program
An anti-cheat program is usually tied to Fortnite in order to prevent users from getting cheated. If they are corrupted, your Fornite won’t open. Hence, you should try to fix them and you can do that easily.
First of all, go to the following location in File Explorer.
C:\Program Files\Epic Games\Fortnite\FortniteGame\Binaries\Win64\EasyAntiCheat
Open the AntiCheat executable file as an administrator. Then select Fortnite and click Repair Service. Wait for the process to complete and your issue will be resolved.
5] Repair or Reinstall Visual C++ Redistributable
For many resolving Visual C++ Redistributable has worked and it can do the job for you too. So, we are going to first try to repair the service. Follow the given step to do the same.

This will take some time, and your issue will be resolved. If it doesn’t, then you need to reinstall Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable.
6] Reinstall Fortnite

Hopefully, your issue will be resolved.
