Unhandled Exception: EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION?

Development Getting Started & Setup

Hey all,
Been trying to launch Unreal Engine for about a week now with now luck, getting some kind of variation of this after creating a new videogame project. The editor will load in and work fine for about 3 or 4 minutes then crashes.

For some reason, whenever my UE crashes, I also get a notification about my onedrive storage being full despite just emptying it beforehand. (Dont know the relation just thought it would be helpful to note).

This is the most recent crash report:

Unhandled Exception: EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION reading address 0x0000000000000028

Update: I deleted UE5 and redownloaded it on a different drive and changed where the files would load and I am having the same issue, but quicker. Instead of 3-4 minutes now it only loads for 3-4 seconds with same crash report

Hello!

The error refers to your GPU driver. You need to update it.
