Sometimes Unity refuses to open, and that's okay... not?
Before reimporting your project (sometimes this doesn't even fix the problem) or reverting your VCS changes, or applying any suggested fixes: check Editor.log under:
C:\Users\USER_NAME\AppData\Local\Unity\Editor
This will help confirming the issue.
Then, here's a few things you can do:
- Try just opening another project, and maybe re-setting the layout?
- Delete your
Packages/manifest.json(backup the manifest so you won't lose track of your custom packages, if any!) - Delete the
/Tempdirectory next to/Assets - Delete the editor layout (see below); sometimes Unity crashes on opening custom asset windows (or just any window trying to load broken data)
- Read a long thread!
About the editor layout - this is typically saved in several locations:
Library\CurrentLayout.dwlt
But also LastLayout.dwlt, which moves around a bit but seen in these places (search within Editor-5.x!)
Windows
%APPDATA%\Unity\Editor-5.x\Layouts\%APPDATA%\Unity\Editor-5.x\Preferences\Layouts\default\
MacOS
~/Library/Preferences/Unity/Editor-5.x/Layouts/LastLayout.dwlt
Note: literally pasting %APPDATA%\Some\Thing in explorer does work and faster than figuring where that is!

Nice. I never run into such problem. But, but I say I bookmark this once I learn more Unity. ✅
