Question by Zefugi · Sep 16, 2020 at 09:20 PM · editor window

Stuck at "Failed to load window layout"

A few days ago, I started getting the below error on my laptop. When i click one of the first two buttons, the same error pops up immediately.

After rolling back my project to a prior version and getting the same error, I created a new project - it did however not open in unity before this error popped up again.

I switched to my main PC, which did not raise the error - until today. Now I can't open or create Unity projects (3D, URP and HDRP) anymore without getting stuck with this error.

The project opened earlier today, but after closing it and restarting my PC, the error popped up. I have not installed any third party assets or components in unity.

What's going on here?

Try opening the project with LTS version of unity

  1. Press [Load Default Layout]

  2. Unity copies the correct default layout to CurrentLayout-default.dwlt

  3. Unity complains that it still cannot load the layout
    3a. Press Load Default Layout. < this fixes the file

  4. Copy the now correct CurrentLayout-default.dwlt somewhere < copy it from the project that's not working. location =>"ProjectName"\Library\CurrentLayout-default.dwlt

  5. Press Quit

  6. Unity corrupts the file during quitting

  7. Copy back the correct CurrentLayout-default.dwlt

  8. Start Unity again

I was really hoping this would work for me! But it didn't.

I pressed Load Default Layout twice, then went to the folder of the game containing that file.

Copied it. Closed out.

Then I pasted it back in and reload, but I still encounter the issue.

I will send my CurrentLayout-default.dwlt file. Replace it with the one in your project. CurrentLayout-default.dwlt

Thanks. I have the same problem as @Zefugi but replacing CurrentLayout-default.dwlt with yours didn't help it unfortunately. I also tried deleting Library folder. Unity rebuilts it but the problem persists.

Pressing "Load Default Layout" did not cause an update to the CurrentLayout-default.dwlt. The contents of the file remain unchanged and the last-changed date/time remains the same.

$$anonymous$$aybe try deleting the library folder and following the same steps I mention or press the revert factory settings instead of load default layout.
