Unity Editor not loading past splash screen

[ausiemick]

At the Global Game Jam an my unity editor is stuck on this:

Is this a known issue?? It’s kinda ruining my Game Jam

I’ve tried restarting my machine, reading the event viewer, reading the log files, re-installing unity… nothing is working

Tried installing 5.4.1f1 and now I don’t even get a splash screen

[JoeHoran]

I use AVG and ending all anti-virus tasks via task manager solved it.

Super annoying having to do this every time but hey at least I can start unity now

[awordforthat]

For me the solution was uninstalling the AVG Web Tuneup add-on. No need to restart even - after uninstalling it, Unity launched as normal.
