I have same error.

My unity.exe was working as admin and this was causing the problem so I unchecked that admin permission and it opened.

I had the same issue, I removed all my Unity installation references in the “Installs” tab of the Unity Hub, located the Unity.exe (which was simply here: “C:\Program Files\Unity\Editor\Unity.exe”) and it fixed it.

Was the first time I tried to create a new project with Unity 2019 through Unity Hub (since it seems there is no other way now…).

Try to remove all the available paths and then add through the locate option.

Yes unchecking the Run as Administrator worked for me as well. But I think if Unity Hub also runs with an admin permission then it shouldn’t be an issue. Haven’t checked though!

same problem. unity what’s the problem? unity should be out of the box and not like that!

I was having the same issue after Noting that My Unity versions were being installed in an undesired location. After uninstalling, then updating the Unity Editor folder(under gear icon), it actually installed but unity maintained a link to the previous installs. Here’s how I fixed it:

  • Uninstall Unity Hub
  • Open file explorer and navigate to C:\Users<Username>\AppData\Roaming and manually delete the Unity Hub directories.
  • Now install Unity Hub
  • Open Unity Hub and navigate to the installs panel and click the locate button.
  • Navigate to where the former version of Unity hub installed the unity version and select the Unity.exe file
    (Drive:\Path\Version\Editor\Unity.exe obviously changing the Drive:\Path\Version to proper values: IE: C:\Program Files\Unity\2018.4.22f1\Editor\Unity.exe)

Not sure if this will fix your issue but it fixed mine. Sorry no fix suggestions for *nix OS
