Unreal engine crashing, i’ve tried to reinstall, delete folders, update drivers and I just can’t figure it out. Help is much appreciated, thanks in advance.

Error code I receive on crash:

Assertion failed: !Dir.StartsWith(IFileManager::Get().ConvertToAbsolutePathForExternalAppForWrite(*FPaths::EnginePluginsDir())) [File:D:/build/++Portal/Sync/Engine/Source/Runtime/Projects/Private/ProjectDescriptor.cpp] [Line: 339]

Greetings @BigNews420

Welcome to the Unreal Engine Community Forum! You mentioned your launcher is crashing. But, also Unreal Engine itself? Which UE version are you running into this crash on? (Also was the plugin successfully downloaded/installed prior to the crash and if so, did you try removing it to test?)

Hi @BigNews420. I have the same issue currently.
It started after I linked Quixel Bridge. Tried uninstalling/ installing multiple times.
If you fixed the issue do you mind sharing how you did it?
Thanks in advance!
