Hi Kishiimu,

If you click ‘Show Output Log’, are there any lines in the output log that begin with “Error:” ?

If you see messages about “Found disallowed object type” it’s probably related to [this problem](https://forums.unrealengine.com/t/asset-validation-issues/817504).

Welcome to the Forums.

Seems to be a common issue. I believe the short term fix is to use the error code from output log and search items in outliner. Delete offending assets and hope for the best.
