Pretty new to unity I just downloaded the unity hub but everytime I try to create a new project I get an error saying ‘‘unable to create project’’ also is it me or the download link on the unity website for the BETA version and regular version give the same thing ?
I tried changing the location to document, or C drive but it doesn’t change a thing. Really need help here

Here is some ideas you may want to try:
- create a folder for your Unity projects on
C:\or on any other drive where you have ample of space (do not create projects on the root, especially not on theC:\ - IDK how did you end up with 2020.3.0f1… if you don’t have any particular reason to choose that, upgrade it to 2020.3.25f1, there are tons of bugfixes…
- upgrade your project template as the Hub indicates
- it is not mandatory, but change your project name to something meaningful, even if it is just “Testing2020”
- check the logs

Try picking a location in your user’s home folder. Standard users are prevented from writing directly to C:\
Instead try C:\Users\YourUsername\Documents for example. Or create the folder manually under C:\ and make sure the security permissions grant full access to the logged in user before selecting that folder in the Hub.
hello. I am having a similar problem, It is not working even by trying C:\Users\YourUsername\Documents
uninstall all unity and install again the problem occurs because unity was not installed properly

for me it still doesnt work
im having the same problem as pidim
I really need help with this as well. Nothing is working.
Please provide an accurate problem description including what you tried and any error messages and attach the editor.log file.
- check the unity hub logs, maybe that contains more information (https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/LogFiles.html)
- do not put your projects inside OneDrive folders, it can become broken in no time when it gets synched at the wrong moment and it slows down the editor as well, always put your projects on internal, non-removable storage such as HDD or SSD (I like to create a separate partition for work, I have the drive “D” (Development) for this on my fastest SSD
I had this problem creating a new project because I was trying to create it on my Desktop, which syncs with OneDrive. When I switched to a folder not syncing with OneDrive, everything worked fine.
Sounds like it might work. I’m gonna try that.
How exactly did you do it? I am having difficulty.
It sounds like you just need to change the location.

Thank you! I actually did that and it worked. I also had to relocate some files as well.
Having the same problem. Uninstalled everything unity and reinstalled. Noticed the last time I did that Microsoft Defender popped a message window up which said something about blocking components of this program, but I accidentally clicked out of that window before I realized what it was… I know, I’m an impatient idiot at times. At the expense of my ego, I am sharing this as I am currently uninstalling in prep for a reinstall to find that message again, to see if I can reconfigure Defender to allow unity and see if THAT is the cause of the problem.
I have verified that the location is local hard drive and not One Drive, so that is not the issue for me… that I can tell… and that did not solve the problem, which is why I uninstalled and reinstalled the second time I did so.
Hi all.
Did all of the above steps and still could not get unity to work. To make a LONG explanation short, just do the following:
- Back up ALL personal and important things from hard drive onto flash or other media which is removable.
- Uninstall One Drive from the computer.
- Reload everything from step 1 above.
- Download Unity Hub.
- Open Hub > Installs
- Select LTS version
- Pick options you desire
- Install.
- Create Project!
Hope that helps you as it did me!
Hi
Im having trouble with my unity to where it is telling me im unable to create a project
I am not using one drive and i have uninstalled and reinstalled unity to see if it would fix it and it still is giving me to the issue and i would like to know what can i do to fix it
If onedrive is installed on your machine, it may appear that you are not using it, while it is in fact hijacking your
every save function. This is what it was doing to me. I was forced to manually delete ALL personal files which saves them in the recycle bin, then uninstall one drive from my machine. Even then it does not remove every onedrive folder, so you will have to search file explorer for anything onedrive, and manually delete it. next restore your files from the recycle bin. Lastly uninstall everything unity and then reinstall… VERIFY the save to location…
The problem I had was even though I was convinced I was not using onedrive, manually selecting save to locations on my local drives, onedrive was actually only saving a shortcut to the file on my local drive while in reality it was saving the actual file on the onedrive system. The shortcuts on my local drive appeared to be the file itself, meaning no little arrow to tell me it was a shortcut… and when opening it acted like the real file, so like you, I just KNEW I was not using onedrive! When in fact onedrive had hijacked my entire machine and I did not realize it. Only after all of the above was I able to install Unity and get it running; and if not for this mess with unity I would never have known it.
I an SOOO thankful for this problem with installing unity… now I own my system again… or at least I think I do.
