Texture Import Settings Failing to Apply

Unity Engine
1

Every time I try to apply import settings I get an error on the console. I’ve restarted Unity several times and it never fixes the problem. I can’t convert any texture to anything else or change any options due to this.

This looks like I have ran into a bug. I’ve already reported the bug. It looks like I am going to have to reinstall Unity.

Error:

Alright guys. This may be helpful for anyone having this issue. Close the Sprite Editor and everything should be working fine. Mega Blast Ball development continues!
