MarshallwarnerI have experienced the same problems today in my up to date Ryzen 3500 Windows 11 PC: Event Viewer not loading and Epic Games Launcher opening but staying in background only. Restarted several times and same situation. I thought it was related to a damaged drive.

 

I just reinstalled Epic Games Launcher. In the first attempt, installation froze at the "Checking update" window. Tried again and it worked. Not sure what happened, as I was using Epic Games Launcher a few hours ago before the problem started.

 

Now, I'm unable to open Epic Games Launcher. After rebooting, it stays as a background process using only 7,5 MB of RAM. Event viewer and Microsoft Management Console is also freezing and not responding.

Kuroch87You are describing the exact same problem I had; believe me, formatting windows 11 again doesn't worked.  I tried two times, one with the embedder reset windows, and one with a pen drive. The only thing restore my pc to normal state was going back to windows 10. In every new instalation of Windows 11 event viewer crash, and Epic Games launcher doesn't work normally. Maybe it is a recent windows update, but I don't know, but seems to be a big problem if affects a lot of systems.
