Why am I getting a Windows security prompt when updating or installing the Epic Games Launcher?

If you’re installing the launcher or updating it to a newer version, you may need to accept a User Account Control (UAC) prompt, which is a security feature in Windows that prompts you when your computer needs permission to install or run a program.

Do you want to allow this app to make changes to your device

You may need to contact your administrator if the device you're using, for example, on a school, work, or family-shared PC, doesn't have permission to accept the UAC prompt.
