UE4 Stuck on Build / Compile at SharedPCH.Engine.ShadowErrors.cpp

Hi, this error is affecting just a single project on both UE 4.25 and .26. Whenver I try to make a build or compile C++, it gets stuck on SharedPCH.Engine.ShadowErrors.cpp

I am on the latest toolchain and have up to date Windows 10 SDK.

Here’s the relevant bit from the log, it only stops whenever I cancel the build:

I’m having the exact same problem and haven’t had any answers since mid-Jan, so seeing this asked on 2nd Jan isn’t encouraging. I may just have to switch to Unity here.

Oh my God. I just fixed it by changing the project location away from C/Users/Documents etc, into basically the root of the C drive. How dumb is that.
