    All of the sudden Unity crashes when I try to open a existing project or creating a new project. I have the error log but not sure what to do with it. I have searched and tried removing library folder and tmp folder trick no luck I have tried running in offline mode which was suggested by a few people no luck. I am so lost...

    Please help!

    For what it's worth I have started experiencing the exact same symptom with the exact same crash in the log. Yours is just the first thing I found when searching for an answer. I updated my graphics driver with no effect. Windows has just updated so perhaps that is the cause. I am about to use the bug reporting tool to send my log and report to the Unity team so perhaps you should too.

    Thank you I thought I was all alone on this, I will look into submitting a bug when I get home. The bummer is I have a Unity project due tomorrow and I tried all night last night to get the editor up with no luck. I hope I can get it working tonight!!!

    I have managed to get the Editor to run by using a command line option to launch it:
    C:\Program Files\Unity\Editor\Unity.exe -force-glcore

    this is because the issue seems to be DX or graphics driver related so by forcing it to use Open GL that gets around the issue - for now.

    This is not ideal but at least I can get by until the next windows or driver update.

    Ok so that worked for me too, thank you so much! I wonder if I can get my old graphics driver since that was working fine.

    I have sorted out my issue by uninstalling Citrix Workspace.

    When looking at the windows logs it shows an error code which with some searching led me to this discussion:

    https://stackoverflow.com/questions...launch-with-access-violation-0xc0000005-error

    There is no explanation of WHY it was causing the crash, simply a question asking if the person with the problem had it installed.

    As soon as I uninstalled Citrix Workspace the problem disappeared.

    Oh man, same here, also with the Citrix Workspace installed. :(
    And adding the "-force-glcore" helped, thank you!
