hi @SuperTN33 ,
This is an old Known problem,
You must swich off DX12 Direct X 12 drivers in Windows 11 because Direct X12 Ultimate drivers are broken and need you to update manually them before you have any chance of working

If you have AMD graphics cards you will find the word “PREVIEW” across the screen.
The updates are NOT supported by Windows update.
The reason this crashes is because UE has very tight efficient code written for DX11 and when DX12 shaders attempt to work on this the hardware overflows an hence the blue screen crash
