I worked around this loop by reinstalling Unreal Engine and Epic Games Launcher while keeping my project files untouched. I am on 5.8.4 after reinstalling everything.

If this is how it is supposed to be, somehow I feel like it was not like this back in 5.7 and below.

I had the same problem when using Launcher Preview. After spending the whole night trying to figure out how to fix it, I finally resolved it simply by reinstalling the engine.
