How to set default level?

I have some general solutions that helped me 90% of time.
Might be a long shot because I haven’t encountered same problem but quite similar. Here are few tips that sometimes might help and helped me many times:

  1. Try different storage drive if you can, UE sometimes doesn’t like either custom characters outside basic ASCII or is unable to obtain sufficient privileges to update data.
  2. Remove Saved and Intermediate (fair warning though, back it up before removing, it contains some editor settings, colors of folders etc. not essential to your project but might to you)
  3. Migrate if you can your project to blank and package/work from there, I know this is not the best solution but as last resort is better than nothing.
    I hope at least some of this helps.
