Launcher Fails to Open

Sometimes the Rockstar Games Launcher just sits there doing nothing when you click it. This can happen after updates or if files get corrupted.

- Restart your PC completely to clear any temporary glitches.

- Right-click the launcher icon, go to properties, and verify integrity of application files.

- If that does not help, uninstall via control panel and download a fresh copy from their official page.
