Unreal Engine 5 crashes upon opening a project file

After installing UE5 on a new gaming laptop, I can’t even open an UE5 project file.
Everytime I try, the crash report pops up giving the following messages :

Hey @doglishgyu! Welcome to the Forums!

Check out this thread with the same error code as you. There may be a plugin or process that needs enabled.

Hope the above points you in the direction you are looking for!

Thank you for your post. But my project isn’t anything related to VR. It is simply a blank UE5 project that won’t open.

Hey @doglishgyu,

Do you have editor symbols for debugging installed for UE5? Here is where to find it:

EpicGamesLauncher_1DIf7vkJ5d

EpicGamesLauncher_g5RU36EbGD

So far all signs point to something being missing or not installed correctly. Here is another thread with the same error that explains even more:

Hopefully the above contains the process you need.

so far this has worked for me after days of looking up videos

thank you so much
