Development Getting Started & Setup

Hi everyone
I recently put together a new PC with the following components:

i9 14900k
RTX 4090 FE
96GB DDR5 Ram
SSD M.2
Win 11 Pro

But unfortunately Unreal crashes about 10-20 seconds after starting with the following error message:

EpicAccountId:

Unhandled Exception: EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION reading address 0x0000000000000028

Try using the ‘studio’ drivers, not the latest game ones. Also, in the Nvidia control panel, especially the 3D section, reset everything to defaults.

Would need detailed logs. Similar question and advice here from post 7 down:
