UE 5.6.1 locking up

Summary

I just got a new pc, downloaded all the driver updates etc., I then downloaded UE 5.6.1 and everytime I open it just locks up/freezes in place and won’t close even with the task manager (which show no cpu usage, but says it’s still responding). Nothing responds at all even when I let it run, it’s still going in the background currently and nothing has changed. I tried uninstalling it, and doing a fresh install and this hasn’t fixed the issue. I can get as far as right clickling on the content browser (content folder), and it freezes by the time I scroll over New Folder. Any idea how to help?

Additional Notes

Like I said it’s a brand new pc. I’ve had it for 2 days, other programs like blender run just fine. It could be something simple, or something major, or not an issue with UE at all but my new hardware. I’m trully clueless at this point.
