Visual Studio Error: Ue4Editor-[classname]-(random number).dll is missing

This problem has occurred in all my unreal engine projects in the past few days. It seems to occur after I add a c++ class and build. After I close the editor and visual studio, reopening the editor results in a missing dll error and a request to rebuild. Rebuilding does not work. Opening the project in visual studio and trying to build results in the error above.

I have tried the following:

  • deleting the intermediate, saved, vs, and binaries folders and generating project files.
  • repairing the Unreal engine installation
  • changing the engine version
  • rebuilding the Visual studio code
  • editing the uproject file
  • editing the Target.cs files

This issue has been a serious roadblock. I would really appreciate some help.

Same problem here. Trying to understand why
