    Hi, I've never had this problem before within the time I've been using Unity3D and today its suddenly stopped working, I attempted to open Unity3D and it didn't launch, I went into the main folder and tried the .exe there too and that refused to work. So I looked around and added a DEP exception, that didn't work either and I've also changed the compatiblity to Windows XP Service Pack 2 and It didn't work either!

    The only thing I can think of that may be causing this problem is that I overclocked my processor recently and added an extra two locked off cores :D I've been receiving excellent performance since this and Unity3D seems to be the only program that is being stubbon and wont launch, perhaps if I underclocked It It would launch but I like having a Quad-Core CPU instead of a Dual-Core one.

    Can anybody help me?

    Have you checked the log file?

    Is the app running in the application window? Is its process running in the task manager? If so, could it be that Unity is actually up and running and the window is out of the desktop viewable area? This can happen when you go from a multiple monitor setup to one monitor.

    Unity 2018 not opening on Windows 7. It opened yesterday when I prepared for the Ubisoft Game Jam at NAD Montreal, now I cannot even launch it. Struggling for 6 hours now trying to just F***ing open it. Thanks for scraping my whole weekend. I bought for over 1500$ in assets and it simply just not open.
