Trouble opening projects (Failed to open project)

Hi all,

I'm having trouble opening my projects.

  • If I just open ArcGIS Pro and click on one of the Recent Projects, it will show me "Failed to open project" (see screenshot below).
  • If in ArcGIS Pro I click on "Open another project" and then browse to my project, I get a slightly different message saying that "project file does not exist in its last saved location" (see screenshot below).
  • If I navigate to my project file in Windows Explorer and try to open it directly, ArcGIS Pro opens but doesn't show the project and freezes  (see screenshot below).

The only way I found was to open ArcGIS Pro, click "Start without a template", and then go to Project>Open and then select a Recent project. But this is not convenient and something should be wrong with my ArcGIS (and if nobody has a solution, maybe someone with the same problem will find this post and use the same walkaround).

I tried to follow the solutions in the following threads as they got similar messages as I do but my unpacking folder is already a local folder.

Does anybody have an idea?

Many thanks!
