You can also try re-generating the project files by right clicking the .uproject file and generate visual studio files.
I have installed UE4.16.2 and Visual Studio 2017 on Windows 10. Each is working correctly on its own, but they do not integrate with eachother the way I have seen in tutorials. Specifically, when I create a new project in UE4 (New Project > C++ tab > Basic Code), it begins compiling the script as usual until it runs into an error with the following error message:
The project could not be compiled. Would you like to open it in Visual Studio?

Whether I click ‘yes’ or ‘no’, VS2017 opens and begins building the project. After that, I am unable to open the project again in UE4.
Is it possible to adjust some settings so that the integration of VS2017 and UE4 is more seamless?
