Can't rebuild visual studio files as the option is not there.

I’m trying to add some C++ to my project in order to utilize GAS system fully, unfortunately when I convert my project to C++ and Blueprints it tells me to rebuild from source manually. This option does not exist for me.

Furthermore the common “solution” i find online to this seems to be retargeting the “UnrealVersionSelecter” as your .exe launcher; this does not exist in the newest version of Unreal Engine:

So you just can’t rebuild anymore? What gives?

Edit: visual studios is associated in the engine preferences. Idk if recently you need to do more then that.

Ai search for ‘associate visual studio with unreal engine’ - under Show more options should show the following.

Visual Studio is associated is the IDE in the engine preferences as well, neglected to mention that.
