Troubleshooting​

Can't add modules to installed editors​

Remove any manual install and let Unity Hub install automatically. If that does not work:

  1. Open C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Roaming\UnityHub\.
  2. In editors.json and editors-v2.json, change "manual":true to "manual":false.
  3. Reopen Unity Hub.

Can't remove an old SDK​

In editors.json and editors-v2.json, change "manual":true to "manual":false, then reopen Unity Hub.
