What Issue with Engine.ini Not Generating in UE 5.4 and 5.5 for Changing RHI?

Helo Everyone!

I’ve encountered an issue while working with Unreal Engine versions 5.4 and 5.5. I am trying to use a function to modify the Engine.ini to change the RHI (Render Hardware Interface) settings for players. This works as expected in version 5.3, where the Engine.ini file is generated automatically in the Saved\Config\Windows directory. However, when I try the same approach in versions 5.4 and 5.5, the Engine.ini file doesn’t seem to be created at all, just the GameUserSettings.ini.

Is this a known bug or an intentional change in the behavior of how Unreal Engine handles configuration files in these newer versions? Are there any alternative methods for modifying the Engine.ini to change the RHI that work in 5.4 and 5.5?
