Consistent editor freezes in ShowWindow / D3D11CreateDevice

Getting Started & Setup

I’m trying to do the official C++ tutorials (currently on Implementing your Character in Unreal Engine | Unreal Engine 5.3 Documentation), but I keep getting freezes. The first couple times were on saving after creating a blueprint class, and I was able to kill UnrealEditor, retry, and have it work on the second try, but now I’ve got to a point where it’s freezing consistently, when trying to import the sample first person model HeroFPP.FBX. If I use this workaround I can do the import without freezing, but then it freezes on the immediate next step, saving.

Similar to this UE4 question but uninstalling Nahimic didn’t fix it for me (and also I’m on UE 5.3)

The call stack of the freeze during the FBX import is as follows:

Or in the case of the freeze-on-save, everything from ShowWindow and above is the same.

I have tried creating a fresh “blank” C++ project and importing the sample model, and that also freezes. I have also tried updating my graphics drivers, to no avail. Any help would be appreciated
