Question by matty01 · Apr 05, 2015 at 03:05 PM · editorcrashwindows

Why won't Unity Editor open?

Unity was working fine yesterday, but now, when I click a project, it doesn't open at all. When I go into task manager, I can see that Unity.exe is open, but it won't appear on the screen.

I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling, also when I try to do DEP (data execution prevention) it says "You cannot set DEP attributes on 64-bit executables".

I had the same issue, turned out my anti malware program was causing unity to not load (I have no idea why). I uninstalled Malwarebytes from my computer and unity loaded up fine.

That seems super half-ass, malwarebytes and defender are blocking it. Come on now, you expect us to open ourselves wide open just to use this software?

It is not uncommon for home/commercial anti-virus software to generate false positives, reduce/bottleneck I/O by scanning, and generally create problems. It is common practice to exclude specific files, that are known to be clean, from on-demand scanning. It is also a good idea to run a regular full scan of your system that DOES include those files. That being said, the AV software DOES need the ability to specify exclusions (no idea if $$anonymous$$alwarebytes does, or not.)

So I fixed my issue. Turns out that it is Malware atleast for me... I went into Malware and just made an exception to the folder and File. (Just incase) then I restarted comp and worked for me. Hope this helps.

The developers are aware of the issue and are trying to fix it.

See PeteBrisbourne's screenshot here:
https://forum.unity.com/threads/unity-editor-will-not-open-present-as-a-background-task.486216/#post-3236882

Disconnect from the internet before launching Unity, choose "Work offline" then reconnect to the internet.
