Need Help With Build issues

Going to keep it short and sweet. GO to build a game using UWP and unity 2020.2 will not obey the folder I tell it to use. It keeps using the stage area inside the temp folder in my game directory. Furthermore it will not generate a .sln file when I build so that I can use VS 2019 to create the files I need to test the game on the series x. Can someone help me with this please? Been trying not for a few weeks and can not find the answer to my problem(s).

 

I forgot to mention, i had NO issues making a build before I upgraded to unity 2020.2

 

It says you are encountering a build error, so the issue is the build process is not actually completing. I'm not familiar with that specific error, so can't offer any help with resolving it. I'd suggest trying to find if there are any other threads on that specific error, or going back to your earlier backup and earlier Unity version where this problem wasn't occurring for now.

 

that is correct, I am indeed running into a build error and everything I look up talks about trying to build for android and these errors being related to that. However I am trying to build for UWP and not android so I can not find any help sadly.
