Question by $$anonymous$$ · Oct 15, 2016 at 12:35 PM · buginstallation

[Solved] Unity 5 grey screen on startup

I installed Unity 5 and when I start it up, it shows the unity logo then goes to a grey screen:

alt text

I have tried:

  • Uninstalling, restarting my pc, then reinstalling

  • Restarting my pc

  • installing nodejs into the unity folder (before the uninstall)

Useful info:

  • Unity version 5.4.2f1

  • Windows 10

  • 64-bit

I also have Unity 4.6 installed, but they are in different folders. I just can't see why it is doing this!

It's about time Unity fixes their installer.

Thanks! It's strange this happened. Because about a week ago I installed Unity 5, but since I'm following a unity course so I uninstalled 5, it would be easier to use 4.6, but I wanted 5, and this bug didn't happen

For anyone else that comes here looking for a way to fix this. The problem used to be an issue with NPM and I believe it's been fixed in the newer versions of the package manager, Unity is still using 3.1. Just turn off windows defender real-time protection, Malwarebytes real time protection etc.. Really any antivirus software is going to interrupt some file writing that NPM needs to do for Unity to set up correctly.

For those of you who are curious, this is the step that is being blocked by your antivirus. Error: EPERM: operation not permitted, rename "..." -> "..."

With the best answer above mine, all you're doing is manually placing the npm packages where they're supposed to go. This should be a pretty simple fix for Unity, it's unfortunate they haven't gotten to it yet.

Thank you for this. I had narrowed it down to a NP$$anonymous$$ error and tried troubleshooting it from that end. Temporarily disabling $$anonymous$$alwarebytes realtime protection fixed the issue.

You should install an upgraded version of Unity 5 as it will not work in windows 10. There is no issue with NPM this problem is due to windows upgradation and it is not supportable. You get an update from Bitdefender Error 1020 after updating it won't show a grey screen after startup.
