i also found this thread, but this didn´t help: How to fix Unreal 5 Boot issue?

This looks to be the same issue I had (which you’ve attached the thread for). Just to confirm did you try both solutions in my thread? (RowdyCoder responded with an alternate solution) and when trying my solution did you remember to rename the file after you copied it across?

Just want to rule out as much as possible, because I stopped looking into the issue after it started working for me.

more information about your system could help.

the usual suspects, first check if system have minimum hardware requirements to run unreal 5. then if you have all the drivers updated. if system is updated to latest version.

and if the editor is not blocked by the firewall.
