    I saw that unity had some new update and decided to download it for its new features. The problem is that each time I create a new project, unity loads and then gives me this:

    Capture1.PNG If I press "Retry", it puts me back on the Project selection screen. If I press "Quit", it turns off unity. If I press "Continue" it continues loading and it finally opens up unity. In the editor there is this constant error:
    Capture3.PNG
    All component and all asset also have this under them:
    Capture2.PNG
    When I try to turn on play mode this happens:
    Capture4.PNG
    I searched the "CHANGELOG.md" file and found this:
    Capture5.PNG
    I really don't know what to do so could someone help me.

    Hi @Superzem2112,

    It seems that somehow you don't have *write* file access on your user folder (
    C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\unity
    .

    This is really strange and it is the first time I see this error.

    Can you create a file in this folder?

    Regards,

    Pascal

    Is the changelog.md file read-only? Can you change the read-only state of the file?

    No, I can't edit the changelog.md file and I don't know how to make the file not read-only.

    After turning all the files back to read and write and created a new project, the unity editor opened and it gave an error saying that ...Unity\cache\packages\packages.unity.com\com.unity.package-manager-ui@1.8.8\Editor\Sources\External\ SemVersion.cs had a "/*" at the beginning of the file but no "*/" at the end of the file. I simply added one at the end of the file. When I finished my edits, another error appeared saying:
    .../Unity/cache/packages/packages.unity.com/com.unity.package-manager-ui@1.8.8/Editor/Sources/Services/Packages/PackageListExtensions.cs(8,35): error CS0246: The type or namespace name `Package' could not be found. Are you missing an assembly reference?
    I checked the ... Packages/PackagelistExtension and everything seemed normal thought.

    Can you erase the folder
    Unity\cache\
    and restart Unity? Did it work or you still got an error. And the errors persist, are they showing with a new project to?
