"Failed to load window layout" Error

Question

Hello.

I upgraded my project from 2019.3.0a3 to 2019.3.0b4 and im getting this error.

None of the buttons work properly else quit button.

I deleted layout data from %AppData%, reinstalled version, reinstalled Unity and hub. Actually I even cleaned all traces of any Unity or Hub installation (including Registry, ProgramData, AppData, Local and Program Files) and deleted all temporary information from my project files. Still didn't work.

Im creating a new project: Same Issue. Restarting PC:Same Issue. Switching to another project: Same issue. Downgrading a kind of empty project to 2019.3.0a3: No Problem. Downgrading my normal projects to 2019.3.0a3: No visible window and "Not responding" in task manager even after waiting almost 12 hours.

I tried to upgrade to Unity 2020 Alpha. Still same issue.

What should i do?

Edit: I alredy tried this "Don't close message and switch to another project" method but i got the same issue again with the other project too.

Edit 2: After a clean Windows installation, still same issue.

Thanks.

Can you add a picture of your project's folder (with hidden files visible) ?

Not a solution but a suggestion: Make a backup of your project, then try to move the *.csproj, *.sln, *.sofa files then reopen the project. If it still fails, try to move the ProjectSettings folder. If it works, put back the ProjectSettings and try to move every file one by one. If moving ProjectSettings folder does not work, try to do the same with Assets folder.
