    I'm using 5.4.2.f2 on Windows 10 machine. Starting a few days ago when I go into Play Mode the game plays, but cannot exit Play Mode. I can access the menus so I can save and exit Unity, but I can't click on anything within the Editor. There are NO error messages in the console. This is getting very frustrating because it can happen several times in an hour.

    Hope someone can help me solve this. Happy New Year all!

    Bump. Does anyone know what could be causing Unity to not be able to exit play mode or what I can do to figure out what might be happening?

    This is still happening to me with 5.6. Is there any way of getting out of play mode short of Assets/Reimport All? And why does it happen?

    I'm really not sure what happened...but for the last few weeks my play mode isn't freezing anymore. Hope you figure it out. Strange happenings.

    This looks like an installation problem. Both 5.4 and 5.6 versions use files they have in common. You should try
    1. deinstalling Unity,
    2. removing all the remaining Unity directories in User/AppData/Local, LocalLow and Roaming,
    3. reinstall Unity.
