[SOLVED] Blank screen upon starting Unity after installing 5.1.2

Unity Engine
1

It seems every subsequent release/patch of unity gets a little bit worse with respect to what happens when you start up unity.
I just downloaded unity 5.1.2 and installed it. When I start up unity I get a completely blank window.

The log file has:

Using monoOptions --debugger-agent=transport=dt_socket,embedding=1,defer=y

Thats the end of the log file.

Im running windows 8.1. No antivirus or firewall.

So what could the issue be?

the issue was resolved by removing some other 3rd party software on my PC:
