    When upgrading from b4 to b5.
    This keeps popping up and there is no way to actually open the project anymore.

    I will report back here after actually reimporting entire project again...

    After removing library folder and some others and doing a complete reimport seems to fix the issue.

    This is for those who come across this problem and will look for solutions.

    We had the same problem in an android project. If the way doesn't work:
    1. In the projects Library folder there is a file "CurrentLayout-default.dwlt"
    2. Go into USER/Library/Preferences/Unity/Editor-5.x/Layouts/Default and open the file "Default.dwlt" in a text editor, copy all the content of it and replace the content of the "CurrentLayout- default.dwlt" with it.
    3. Open your project

    It's worth trying the method we used:

    1. We uploaded our current version of the project to github.
    2. After committing to github, we deleted the local project folder
    3. We have redownloaded the project from our repo
    4. We opened the project and everything works :D

    I tried the above method and didn't have any success. The only thing that worked for me was simply opening my project up with a previous Unity version, then reopening the project with the Unity version I wanted to use.

    (However, I did this after trying the previous method that I am quoting. Could have been the combination of doing both of these things. If you have a missing default.dwlt or .wlt, I just copied the one from the Default folder and pasted it into the CurrentLayout folder.)

    None of this works for my project either. Looks like another day lost to a silly unity bug

    It's often not enough. Many have to copy over a working version of the default layout into the storage place for common components of the Unity Editor, which isn't in the Library, not even in the Project folder.

    It's in the User folder of Macs, and somewhere similar on PC.

    So i tried and find out that you don't have delete whole library, instead go project files> library> and only delete "ArtifactDB" file

    The fastest way is remove your library folder in your project.

    Deleting the library folder worked for me when encountering this issue in Unity 2022.3.5f. I tried the other solutions mentioned in this issue page but none of them worked.

    It did this for me too with a brand new project.

    Deleting artifactdb worked also for this context.
