I had installed UE5 and started work on a project and for a week it was fine, however when I tried opening the project to do more work on it, it informed me that I do not have UE5 installed on my machine. It prompts me to try selecting a local installed build, but when I try doing so nothing ever prompts me to select the build as the message just disappears and nothing else happens.
I checked my files and the folder for UE5 was unchanged and in the same location as it always has been since it’s installation. On the Epic Games Store, it says I no longer had UE5 installed, despite the contents of UE5 being present on my machine.
This is the second time I’ve encountered this issue, the first time I simply just chose to reinstall UE5, however I would prefer not to have to reinstall this engine weekly. Any solutions / things to try would be appreciated.
