How to fix Fortnite ‘Launch Error: Please close WinDbg before starting the game’

Fortnite has a lot of errors when playing the game, but some can occur before you even have a chance to sign in, such as the infamous Launch Error, which asks you to close a program called WinDbg before starting.

The error occurs when you load up the game on PC from the Epic Games Store. The game tries to load but then suddenly closes and gives you the message instead, forcing you to hit the Exit button. Trying to load the game again continues to give you the error, so how do you get around it and fix the problem?
