Getting Started & Setup

I’ve searched around the forums and have found similar problems but all different enough that i couldn’t find a clear answer.
I’m brand new to UE4, so new that i cant even open a starter project.Opening a project freezes at 39% and sends my CPU usage to 100%. I’ve followed the steps on other similar problems and as far as i know: My GPU is up to date and selected as default device for UE4, and my hardware should be more than adequate to run UE4.

I’m not sure why I am having this problem.
Intel I5 6600k 3.50ghz
16.0gb ram
Nvidia GTX 1070
