    Hi there. I've been experiencing a weird problem on Unity and I don't know how to fix this problem. I would call myself a beginner/intermediate user. After searching the internet and trying all the possible solutions I could come up with, I've been unable to fix this. Any help would be highly appreciated. Thank you.

    I opened a previous project in Unity yesterday and it asked me to enter safe mode as shown in the image below.

    I ignored it because I didn't have any errors before so I thought this was just a bug or something. Later, VS Code wouldn't open when I double-clicked on scripts in the project folders in Unity. Also, when I tried clicking "Play", an error said, "All compiler errors have to be fixed before you can enter playmode!". In the console, 2 blank errors came up as shown.

    In the editor logs I can see the following but I don't understand them:

    Native extension for WindowsStandalone target not found

    and

    
-----CompilerOutput:-stdout--exitcode: 1--compilationhadfailure: True--outfile: Temp/UnityEngine.TestRunner.dll
    
-----EndCompilerOutput---------------

    and

    
-----CompilerOutput:-stdout--exitcode: 1--compilationhadfailure: True--outfile: Temp/UnityEngine.UI.dll
    
-----EndCompilerOutput---------------


    I have tried:
    • Reinstalling VS Code
    • Reinstalling Unity
    • Creating a new project
    When I create a new project, I experience the same problem. However, if I try to edit a project that I used before the original project that I mentioned, everything works perfectly fine.

    My Unity version is 2020.3.25f1
    I am using Windows 10.

    Any help will be highly appreciated, thank you.

    Can you try running "C:\Program Files\Unity 2020.3.25f1\Editor\Data\Tools\RoslynScripts\unity_csc.bat" via the command prompt and see what happens? Does it print anything?

    Hi there. I fixed the problem and found a solution. I will try to make a step of solutions for people that may experience this problem in the future. With your help, I found out that my command prompt wasn't opening when I tried to open it. I'm not sure which of these steps, in particular, solved it, but it worked:
    1. Open environment variables and add "C:\Windows\SysWOW64" to the path variable if not already there.
    2. Open PowerShell as administrator and do 
      sfc /scannow
    3. Windows + R and type "regedit". Open HKEY_CURRENT_USER --> SOFTWARE --> Microsoft --> Command Processor and delete "AutoRun"
    4. Restart and it should work.
    Thank you.
