Just run it as admin. Right-click on the launcher, hit 'Run as administrator', and voila. Fixes it most times.

Oh, the joys of trying to launch GTA 5 on Epic Games and getting nowhere, I've been there! A classic issue could be your anti-virus software blocking the game, thinking it's up to no good. Try disabling it temporarily (just don't forget to turn it back on). Another culprit often is outdated game files or graphics drivers. Make sure everything is up to date - game, drivers, and the Epic Games Launcher. Sometimes just a good old reinstall does the trick.

Honestly, it's probably just a sign to go outside instead.

My game refused to launch until I updated my graphics drivers. Was postponing that update for ages, finally did it, and GTA 5 worked like a charm.
