Hello, Verified ㅤ

Welcome to the Microsoft Community.

It sounds like you're having problems playing Fortnite on your new PC. "Untrusted file" errors usually occur when a game file is corrupted or when an anti-cheat system flags something unusual.





Here are a few steps you can try to solve this problem:



1. Verify Fortnite files:

Sometimes files get corrupted during download or installation. You can verify your game files through the Epic Games Launcher:

Open the Epic Games Launcher.

Go to your library.

Click on the three dots next to Fortnite and select "Verify."





2. Update the graphics driver:

Make sure your graphics drivers are up to date. Outdated drivers sometimes cause compatibility issues with games.

Go to the website of your graphics card manufacturer (NVIDIA, AMD, Intel) and download the latest drivers for your specific GPU model.





3. Check for Windows updates:

Make sure Windows 10 is up to date. Sometimes, a system update can address compatibility issues.

Run Fortnite as Administrator: Right-click on the Fortnite shortcut or executable and select "Run as Administrator". This can sometimes bypass permission issues that cause "untrusted files" errors.





4. Disable antivirus software/firewall:

Temporarily disable your antivirus or firewall software and try to start Fortnite again. Sometimes these programs interfere with game files.



Disclaimer: Temporarily turn off antivirus protection. However, keep in mind that if you do so, your device may be vulnerable to threats. So please turn it on immediately once issue fixed.

5. Reinstall Fortnite:

If none of the above steps work, you may need to reinstall Fortnite:

Uninstall Fortnite from Epic Games Launcher.

Restart your computer.

Reinstall Fortnite via Epic Games Launcher.





6. Check system integrity:

Use the System File Checker (SFC) tool for Windows to scan and recover corrupt system files:

Open the command prompt as an administrator.

Type sfc /scannow and press Enter.

Wait for the scan to complete, and if you find a problem, follow the on-screen instructions.

Disclaimer: Running Microsoft Safety Scanner can help you check if the system is disturbed or malicious software exists. To avoid any trouble for you, please back up all your personal files first to ensure you do not lose data.

If you're still having problems after trying these steps, please contact Epic Games Support for further help, as they can provide more specific troubleshooting steps related to their game and launcher.
