Cannot Create a new C++ project Windows 10

After installing Unreal and Visual studio, I tried creating a new project. It can launch/create a new blueprint project just fine, but it cannot make a new C++ project. It gets to the point of “compiling source code” and then crashes with this:

The project could not be compiled. Would you like to open it in Visual Studio?

Can anyone provide any insight into the why this is happening? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Turns out I’m dumb. I needed the Windows 8.1 SDK. Hope this can help anyone else with the same issue.
