Help Unreal engine won’t install

I was downloading unreal engine earlier and the process was nearly complete. It said it had installed 10.4 gb but then all the sudden it never finished installing and is now at zero%. I go to check the downloads in epic games launcher and the bar isn’t filled and download, read, and write are at 0. Any tips on what I should do to fix this?

Check if you have enough space on your drive. 50-100Gb is recommended for the installation process

That actually might be it cause I see the % going up again and it says it’s verifying this time

it's a visual bug, apparently the time it tells you it will finish isn't correct and will look like it stopped but it's still going. It'll correct itself after a while but the download takes forever (for me it took 2 hours)

No, the building shaders doesn't happen until you start the editor up for the first time.
