This is very frustrating, I had a package file that I was importing into Unity and it crashed while it was decompressing and getting all the assets ready. Now every time I try to run Unity it’s still trying to open the Unity package and it crashes every time I run it. I have even tried restarting my computer nothing is working.
This happens with every project I try to load!
Is this a known issue? Is there anything I can do to fix it or am I going to have to reinstall it?
Please help I am selling a project file and I need my Unity to work.
Thanks,
IK Animation

Try launching Unity with the alt key held down. This should display an Open Project window rather than open the last project used.
