Pure virtual function being called at WindowsPlatformMisc.cpp

Lately when compiling I’ve randomly received the following error that crashes the editor:

Fatal error: [File:D:/Build/++UE4/Sync/Engine/Source/Runtime/Core/Private/Windows/WindowsPlatformMisc.cpp] [Line: 475] Pure virtual function being called

I’m gonna start compiling from VisualStudio and I’ll verify the engine files hoping that helps. But I’m curious as to what this error means and maybe verifying the engine files won’t fix it. I’ll mark it as solved if that fixes it.

This is the last few lines of the corresponding log file

Hi, I think this happens with the code and is frustrating. I’ve seen it too but never found the source of the issue.

As far as I can tell, it’s not the engine and I think it’s related to the widgets. It’s a bit random which makes it harder to track down.

Sorry I can’t be of more help.

I see. Well I’ll keep an eye out and do some more testing to see if it happens again. If I happen to find the reason of the problem I’ll post it here. If I don’t post anything, future readers, it’s because the problem just disappeared.
