UE4 unresponsive after minor blueprint changes

I am using a windows 10 laptop
with an I5 -7200U with 2.5GHZ
with 8GB of ram

I have run into issues where after making minimal edits, ue4 decides that i should be unable to make anymore edits for approximently 5 minutes. This is followed by constant messaging about recompiling c++ code. This did not occur a week ago and has only started occuring. I have not downloaded anything in this time or added any major processor drains for when i am in the browser, yet my project seems to lag like crazy. If you need more detail just ask.

I have the same issue and similar build.

Does anyone have the answer for this?
