there are many google results about fixing that error code https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JZb0DcHmNRc
have you tried any of them? I can't say they will work cause I haven't tried myself, but seems to be a known issue with fornite (and other apps on windows)

Yeah, I've tried that. Even did sfc /scannow, ran dism.exe, chkdsk, etc.
gonna see if it works with the regular epic games launcher
