The same issue for the 5.3.1. It was working a month ago, now I’ve tried many variations, and used default settings without touching anything as well, but it didn’t work.

Another task, they’ve shared the solution, I’m sharing the same here.

While importing:

  • It will open the file explorer at the beginning
  • And in that window at the bottom right, choose “FBX Skeletal Mesh (*.fbx)” from the dropdown list of file types
  • If you import it like that, It imports very well
  • It is set to “all files” by default which didn’t work → Sometimes freezes → Sometimes not

I hope it will help someone.
