Opening Asset editor for StaticMesh causes UE 4.27.2 crash

Summary

Every time I try to open any StaticMesh, my UE crashes. It doesn’t matter if the mesh is custom or default: the crash occurs 100% of the time.
It happens both in my personal projects and in empty projects.
I tried verifying the engine several times, but it doesn’t help.

What do I do?

UE crashes with the following error:
Assertion failed: IsValid() [File:D:\Build++UE4\Sync\Engine\Source\Runtime\Core\Public\Templates/SharedPointer.h] [Line: 824]
