Hi ,

I just wanted to confirm that you had installed the Windows 10 SDK before trying to open the UE4 solution in Visual Studio. It is unlikely that would be causing this issue, but that SDK is required when working with the Engine on Windows 10.

Some previous reports of this issue were resolved by either rebooting the computer or reinstalling Visual Studio. Another thing to check would be whether your installation of Visual Studio 2013 Ultimate has all five of the updates applied.
