I use MSI Afterburner and Riva tuner to monitor hardware stats. Closing them both and restarting UE5 project fixed things for me. ---

Thought I’d update this. I just ran into this as well when trying to launch the Lyra Starter project and found that the issue is specifically with Riva Tuner. If you have Riva Tuner installed and it’s running, right click on it in the task bar and click Close. After it closes, you can open the UE5 projects without any issues. I went ahead and uninstalled it anyways, but in general it’s not MSI Afterburner specifically from what I saw. It’s Riva Tuner. ---

I’ve noticed some machines do not have this dotNET pack installed and it’s required for UE5 to detect the installed Windows SDKs, which can lead to random startup crashes like mentioned here.

Overclocking utilities might be the issue. Some software do not react correctly with overclocking utilities. ---
