Dragging stuff from Content Browser to viewport freezes UE4

ha, came here googling this problem may 2021 now, 4.26.2. I’ve seen the freezing other times but it usually resolved after 10’ish mins or less. Just tried some trees on the kite demo however, left it overnight and all day today so nearly 22 hours (mostly cause i forgot about it!), still frozen. Force quitting. Thinking something is wrong with that demo.

For those new and curious, the kite demo is actually called “Open World Demo Collection”, a free epic asset. Maybe avoid it…
