For those of you who have gotten the plugins list must build modules error on start, but when pressing yes it prompts that it failed and that you must build manually, and when you try doing so manually it won’t work either, here’s a fix that worked for me after 3 days of fiddling.
- Uninstall Both VS and Unreal Engine
- Update Windows to Support VS Version
- Install in the following order: First VS2022 and follow the VS for UE instructions online
- Install UE
- Install UE VS extension
- Open Project solution in VS - it prompted that this solution needs a VS update so follow the update
- Now once you launch it will prompt for same error, but pressing YES on build will actually work.
