RHI is stuck on Vulkan

Hey guys a fresh install of 4.26.2 and cloned project is for some reason stuck in VULKAN RHI.

I set these in the Project Settings UI as well as directly in the DefaultEngine.ini with no luck… nothing I do changes it to DirectX12. Adding -dx12 to the shortcut command line just causes a crash instantly with the error stating that you cannot run -dx12 and -vulkan at the same time etc. I have no clue how to fix this but its annoyingly capping my FPS at 60fps in editor.

When I had the project in the other install of 4.26.2 it was running in DirectX12 just fine. Seriously confused. I also tried making a new project and its in DirectX12 but for some reason the clone one won’t switch out of Vulkan.

Is there some setting somewhere that is forcing Vulkan to be used?

[/Script/WindowsTargetPlatform.WindowsTargetSettings]
Compiler=Default
-TargetedRHIs=RHI_DX12
+TargetedRHIs=RHI_DX12
+TargetedRHIs=PCD3D_SM5
DefaultGraphicsRHI=DefaultGraphicsRHI_DX12

every time i try to CLONE my project using the laucher
it puts it into Vulkan instead of DX12
and from there on out i cannot change it
