Installing Fortnite on PC

[Jobos]

I’m trying to install Fortnite on my son’s laptop and it’s taking forever. I started it at 9pm last night and by 11pm it had only done 58% so left it running, by 7:30 this morning it had finished so clicking next a few times it started checking for updates and it’s been checking for updates for nearly 7 hours!

 

How long does it take? Task manager shows it using 20% cpu and time of writing it’s not using any network. I’m hesitant to restart it in case it makes it worse. It just says checking for updates with a spinning wheel.

 

Thanks in advance.

shouldnt take long if its not the internet thats the bottleneck.

 

Is the harddrive on its last legs? if you slide out the download status window on the epic launcher it should give you some info on the download/read/write speed as it unpacks

It must have froze as a verify showed it was ok. Thanks for the help.
