Unity PC (Windows) Build failing

Questions & Answers
1

I am able to build other projects correctly, so this is not a problem with my Visual Studio Installation as one of the errors suggest

I was able to build this project today morning

I have tried:

  1. Clicking on Assets => Re import all
  2. Restarting unity
  3. Building to a completely different location

I also saw someone who was able to fix his problem with deleting the plugins folder, but i don’t have a folder called plugins in my project

Here are the error messages

  1. Waring

The problem is burst in universal windows platform, when you build into windows(not stand alone but universal windows platform) you can not use burst, disable it, maybe you can try it.

That was i did, maybe unity team can not or not yet implementing this tools(idk what to say about burst, it’s tool or not), just disable it to build into Universal windows platform.
