Error when trying to open UE4 project: Missing dll file

I am having a problem opening my unreal engine project in the unreal editor. Every time I try to load it up on the Unreal Editor the project loads up to about 70% and then gives me an error: “The program can’t start because UE4Editor-ContentModule.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem”.

ContentModule is a custom game module we have implemented. I already checked to make sure that the UE4Editor-ContentModule.dll was inside the Binaries/Win64 project directory. The project can be opened in other computers without any

issues, my laptop is the only one that give me the error. I have already tried reinstalling the Unreal Engine launcher and editor. I have tried re-cloning the project and starting from fresh. It results in the same error. I have also tried regenerating the Visual Studio project files and rebuilding the game from Visual Studio first. The build successful and the DLLs are created, but whenever I try to open the game in the Unreal Editor the same error occurs.

The game module does load one static third-party library (curl). Not sure if that is impacting anything.
