If it’s anything like UE4, you need to do that from the launcher.

ran it from launcher still it opens last project

You run just the engine from the launcher, top right. Then you get the project setup menu.

In the editor, File → Open Project will open the project browser. Uncheck “Always load last project on startup” in the bottom left corner (UE4).

I am not able to download UE 4.27.1 or 5. help? sorry if this the wrong thread. I cannot find a solution nor is the tab even on my downloader

Hi there, when it automatically opens your project, go to the top left corner and click “file”
then go to “open Project” and uncheck “always load last project on startup”

Stop being like Microsoft tech support. Khan.

Actually this guy is experiencing the same issue as I am. I did it from the exe I assigned to the taskbar, the launcher and even tried navigating to the program files UnrealEditor.exe. When any of these are selected, it does NOT load the project setup and instead immediately begins loading the last project I was editing prior to closing Unreal and shutting down my PC. When I turned it back on later to use it, this was happening and I can only access the project setup by file menu open project, after the previous project has loaded. Its a weird glitch thats never happened to me. It started after my VCam wigged out on me earlier right before I shutdown.

This was the fix. Thanks Bro! I’ve never seen this feature before, whether I just never noticed it since I never turned it on or maybe it is new with the latest update, either way, life saver bro. I was getting annoyed lol.

Writing this comment to personally express my thanks. I spent far more time than I’m willing to admit trying to figure out what I had done wrong.

Thanks this was a great save.. It works guys
