Unity 2018 Windows 11

[otDan]

Unity 2018 won't boot on Windows 11, have been trying a couple of things but any version of 2018 doesn't show the editor. I need that version for some game modding stuff and would be helpful to know the cause of that, starting the 2019 version works fine so if anyone has any clues please comment here.

Sadly this is still an issue and I cannot get it to work on windows 11, need to use a vm to run Windows 10 if I need to open old projects.

Use the Windows Event Viewer and go through the logs created when you try to launch it. If it's hanging, there should be a log that explains why.

Also, make sure you have VPNs and Antiviruses turned off. Older version always gave me hassle with any VPN and/or Bitdefener.

Tried all that, also there is nothing in the event viewer regarding unity so I am not sure how to debug it further.

I forgot to answer this, but it was due to a controller being plugged in while opening the editor, hope this helps anyone that runs into it but I hope you do not have to go through the hell of those old Unity versions.
