Lots of errors and broken things

Hi, I know the title is bad but I really don’t know what the issue is. Unity is just kinda broken for me and there are more than 400 error messages and warnings in the console. Uninstalling and reinstalling does nothing, different versions all have similar problems (I tried 2020.3.7, 2019.4.25, 2019.4.26). One problem that Im experiencing and that I think is related to all the errors is that there is no UI option in the gameObject tab and hierarchy, so none of the UI stuff is working anymore when it used to. Error log: Registered 51 packages: Packages from [https://packages.unity.com]: co - Pastebin.com

I hope I removed all the access tokens… o_o

If you have any ideas on how to fix this please let me know.

EDIT: This also happens on completely empty projects, so it has nothing to do with my code

Check if it is Unity barfing unneeded packages into your project. If it is, remove the packages with package manager and shame (again) upon Unity for this practice.

If the errors are in your own code, here is how to understand compiler and other errors and even fix them yourself:

The important parts of an error message are:

  • the description of the error itself (google this; you are NEVER the first one!)
  • the file it occurred in (critical!)
  • the line number and character position (the two numbers in parentheses)

All of that information is in the actual error message and you must pay attention to it. Learn how to identify it instantly so you don’t have to stop your progress and fiddle around with the forum.

Remember: libraries change over time and you may need a new using statement to get access to it. Again, read your errors and use google.

I think I forgot to mention that all these errors also happen on completely empty projects. I created some new test projects but they also didnt compile properly. I have not written a single line of code.

Just read the logs…

I guess you have an anti-virus software running and it’s a false positive? Or you removed the file manually? Or hardware error?
