Hello everyone  
Just started the first tutorial on game development and installing UE5. Unfortunately the editor crashes very soon after loading up with the following error. This is on opening a blank project without any plugins. Any help/suggestions will be greatly appreciated!  
This is on win11 with 3080ti  
TIA.

Found a temporary workaround by switching to use DX11 instead of DX12. Since I am trying to learn the basics at the moment this should be good enough. Got the solution in another post in another thread.
