However, some players have encountered an issue in which Epic Games gets stuck at a Please wait while we start your update message. Consequently, Epic Games doesn’t open when it gets stuck at the Please wait message; and then players can’t play Fortnite: Battle Royale.
How can I fix the Epic Games please wait error?
1. Run Epic Games as an administrator
Right-click your Epic Games shortcut and select Run as administrator.
2. Add wininet to the Epic Games target path
3. Turn off the Windows firewall
Note: If Epic Games opens without issues, you’ll know it was a firewall issue. To not have to turn the firewall off every time you play, simply add the Epic Games software to the firewall’s exception list.
4. Disable the proxy server
5. Reset Windows 10
We hope this guide has managed to fix your Epic Games launcher issues. Now, with the problem being gone, you can play Fortnite without being bothered by annoying errors.
