but i can’t click on"continue" because it is in a loop, and will show me the messege every time i click

i have unistalled the unity3d, deleted the profile folder and deinstalled the hub but the problem is still there

if i do the same with the version 2021.3.20f1 it opens without problems

I have this same problem - did you manage to solve it? And any chance you remember how?

Found a solution that fix my problem :

  1. Go to “AppData\Roaming\Unity\Editor-5.x\Preferences\Layouts” (Alternatively you can access appdata folder by pressing Win + R and type %AppData% ).
  2. Delete the Layouts folder
  3. Open Unity
  4. Same error will pop up
  5. Press Continue
  6. Voila! My problem got fixed

THANK YOU!

I was trying copy paste stuff recommended elsewhere and it wasn’t working.

Nuclear option is always the best option :smile:

It’s not often I leave a thank you but thank you. This was the solution.

Only other thing I would mention is if it doesn’t work, you might have to try a couple times. I received the error again initially but was given a “reset factory defaults” button and when I clicked that, it failed. Next time I started project I got the same error we’ve been getting except when I click Continue, it works this time.

Thank you.
