    Has anyone experienced Unity removing essential folders and files from the editor's main folder in C:/Program Files/Unity ? This happens in our university in one of our labs. When Unity is started it's unable to launch and has an error message basically saying it can't find a package file in the Unity folder that has to be moved to the user's AppData folder. Sometimes, when I navigate to the program folder in File Explorer, I'll see the missing contents start to populate (seemingly on their own). Other times, the files just don't come back and I have to reinstall the program. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Which package(s) show an error? Please show screenshots. My suspicion is user permissions. As a test, can you launch Unity with Run As Administrator?

    This is the message, but pressing Try Again causes the window to reappear consistently.
