When attempting to create a new project, unity begins creating it and then presents me with the attached error message (Retrying doesn’t fix anything) and then upon loading up the project regardless, I’m presented with a copious amount of errors for no reason (Also attached) and I have no idea why. There’s nothing online about this issue. This error has been a thing for a couple of years for me now. I stopped programming games completely because of it and I decided to try again but still, it does this and there’s still nothing online about it.
Has anyone got any ideas as to how to fix this? I just wanna program again 
I’m terrible with this kind of stuff, so I’m just shooting in the dark here. I hate to see people not able to work, though. It looks like a permissions issue. Does your account have administrator privileges on your machine?

I’m also terrible, but here is a list of things for you to try:
- Do any of your project folders have quotes in their name?
- Did you install documentation?
- Do you have the manifest.json and packages-lock.json packages? (not sure if this is useful, to find these packages, go to Finder → Your Project → Packages)
- Did you save the project in the Assets folder? (that got me once)
I really don’t know, found 3 of those online, and I’m just 9 years old, so sorry if it doesn’t work

Unfortunately, it does 
It happens to even brand new projects that are created, so unfortunately none of those help :'(. Thank you for trying though! I appreciate it!
@SoloTree Try browsing the subforum dedicated to the Package Manager. You might be able to find your issue already posted there, potentially even with a solution. If not, it could be worth posting your issue there, too.
Good luck!

The error is telling you there is a file permissions issue. That is still where I would investigate. I would try right clicking on the Unity icon and choosing Launch as Administrator and see if you still hit the same issue.
I would also go to the specific file paths specified in the error messages and see if you can create/modify/delete files and folders without issue and without a needing admin privileges pop up. If you run into any issues there, you’ll have to investigate where the permissions issue is coming from. You may have messed up the permissions of a parent folder, unrelated to anything Unity, a long time ago and the permissions are being passed down to child folders, etc.
Filesystem permissions are a pretty large topic on their own, and aren’t really related to Unity in any way. There’s nothing Unity can do about them at least.
