Hello there @sulitheonly!
That’s a quite peculiar scenario you are encountering. Investigating through your logs, they don’t show a concrete crash, just the editor hanging. There is one thing, though, a possible conflict with your current set of drivers. Check the line below:
LogD3D12RHI: Display: Batched command list execution is disabled for async queues due to known bugs in the current driver.
This means that UE is disabling a feature to avoid further instability. A common scenario with the newest releases from nVidia. So, I would suggest performing a clean install of those drivers, and to replaced with Studio version, as those tend to be more stable for engine work.
If the issue persists, since you already check the OS, the remaining method would be a full uninstall/reinstall of all Epic software:
- First, uninstall the engine, launcher, asset packs, etc
- Next, open the registry directory HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Epic Games\Unreal Engine\Builds, and delete any build entries
- Finally, delete the folders %userprofile%\AppData\Local\UnrealEngine and %userprofile%\AppData\Local\UnrealHeaderTool
- After that, no elements related to UE should be left in your system
- Now, reinstall UE launcher from scratch, and only add the latest version of the engine
- After the process is complete, test opening a blank project
