Why can I only open Unity by troubleshooting? Need help.

I have already reinstalled, changed setting, firewall, restart, compatibility, downloaded with and without modules, I’ve tried everything i can think of and for some reason unity.exe cant be opened after first try(which i cant even save a project where i want despite already checking administrator privilege). At this point it just looks like a joke. :eyes:

Ok so I am going to attach a mega link since the video file got too big for the forum. But as you can see for yourself in the video I do a clean installation and can only open unity by troubleshooting:

00:00 - 00:40 download
00:58 - 04:38 installing <== can skip those
05:45 - 08:15 loading project

Am I doing something wrong???

Please do not upload video on an arbitrary file sharing service. No sane person will click on it (great way to send trojans around and other nasty stuff). Upload them to Youtube or other video sharing service and share that here please.

I mean it’s not arbitrary you don’t download anything from mega unless you press download. And this is a video. You can just play it… But fine i dont really care about the platform it’s on.

Youtube link:

Well, I’m sorry, I don’t trust these services and I don’t trust users who share those links with me. This makes it arbitrary.

Anyway. I have checked your video, after silenced it because of the inappropriate music (WTF?), I noticed that you never checked the installation logs, at least not on the record. Could you please check both the installation logs and the editor logs (if any)?
You can find the installation logs here: %UserProfile%\AppData\Roaming\UnityHub\logs (according to https://forum.unity.com/threads/unity-hub-faq.610594/ )
The editor logs are here: C:\Users<username>\AppData\Local\Unity\Editor\Editor.log (https://docs.unity3d.com/2018.2/Documentation/Manual/LogFiles.html)

Look for any errors during the installation or the initialization of the editor. Also be prepared to submit a bug report, because the behavior is a bug, even if we find the root cause, this should not happen.

Do you have your drivers updated? In general?
Also do you run any kind of antivirus software during and/or after the installation? If the answer yes, have you tried to temporarily disable/turn it off while you’re installing Unity?

Up to date. Tried that too. Resolving this with support right now. Thanks for the help. :slight_smile:
