I haven't played in like maybe a year and had to update the launcher. That update went perfectly fine but now I have a worse problem. There are two listings for Elite Dangerous to choose from and the very first choice on the list requires that I install something. The information provided says this "new" version of ED is free for everyone. Here's the problem. When I click on the orange INSTALL tab, nothing on the launcher responds to any more mouse clicks or mouse cursor roll overs. NOTHING INSTALLS (or if anything is installing it most certainly gives no ongoing progress report). I am forced to open my Task Manager and End the Elite Dangerous Launcher Task.
If you're opening task manager anyway if you can see it's active leave it.
