You need to fix the project settings file. The simplest way to do this is to create a new project with the same release you’ve been using and then copy that file by itself from the new project to the old one.

I _think_ that if you delete the project settings file with Unity closed, when you open Unity again than the editor will create a new one. Take a back-up before attempting. If it works then you’ll probably have to set your project settings again.
Edit: or try what Ryiah suggested.

There isn’t anything important to set because the file doesn’t contain anything more than the engine release version used by the project. Here is the contents of the file for one of my projects. The only reason I recommend generating one with a new project is because of the hash code in parenthesis for the second value.
```auto
m_EditorVersion: 2019.2.0f1
m_EditorVersionWithRevision: 2019.2.0f1 (20c1667945cf)
```

Really? I never looked, but for some reason I was imagining that the projects settings file is where Unity stored all of your project settings. Not sure where I got _that_ idea. 😉

He must be talking about ProjectVersion.txt, ProjectSettings.asset does indeed contain project settings

Yes, I was referring to ProjectVersion.txt since the OP mentioned a .txt extension and that was the first one I saw.
