UE Git 4.26.1 Fails to Start A New Instance After Initial Build, ResonanceAudio CMake Builds Fail

I am trying to run the Unreal Editor 4.26.1 from the GitHub Source and I keep running into this same issue. After the first time I build the editor it seems fine, but then when I reopen the project to launch the editor, Visual Studio 2019 will start trying to rebuild parts of the project with CMake. I’ve redownloaded this source and rebuilt this project many times with the same results.

The issue I am currently getting is:

I saw from a previous post that this is an issue for other people: UE4 build error - Platform & Builds - Unreal Engine Forums

Particularly the response from exitlights2 seems the most reasonable, however I would I like to actually include this plugin, so disabling it would be a last resort.
