'invalid generated path' when I create a new file
I am reciving errors in the console similar tho the following whenever I attempt to create a file in the unity editor: Assertion failed: Assertion failed on expression: 'BeginsWithCaseInsensitive(pathName, AssetDatabase::kAssetsPathWithSlash) || BeginsWithCaseInsensitive(pathName, AssetDatabase::kPackagesMountPointWithSlash)' UnityEditor.ProjectWindowUtil:CreateFolder()
and Invalid generated unique path 'ProjectSettings/New Folder' (input path 'New Folder') UnityEditor.ProjectWindowUtil:CreateFolder()
I would like to know why this is happening so frequently and how to fix it so I can actually use Unity.
Note: for some reason it managed to fix itself after throwing the same group of errors 3 times.

Possibly this bug: https://issuetracker.unity3d.com/issues/assets-are-not-created-from-drop-down-menu-if-any-projectsettings-are-opened-in-inspector
Workaround is to a) not be viewing the project settings, or b) use right-click to create assets.
