Unreal Engine keeps crashing, this problem first occurred to me in version 4.27 and got stuck with me to 5.3 included.The engine crashes whenever i try and edit something or just use the UI.

This is the crash log from a new project and no plugins used.

Have you found any solution? I have the same issue, changing engine to d3d11 not solved my problem any idea what to do?
Also when unreal crashed 3D on task manager was picked, maybe thats what causing it.

Edit:
Restoring nvidia control panel global setting or from program setting panel making unreal engine editor processor to high-performance nvidia processor solved my problem.
Tried 2hour and never crashed. Also it used d3d12.

I found that reseting my gpu from nvidia panel fixed the problem, unreal doesnt really love custom settings
