Hi @Mahendra_Reddy , you can try reset the settings by clicking Home → Settings → Reset Settings. After that close UiPath and start again. Might work. You can also try restarting you pc. These simple steps helped me while having these kind of issues.

Happy Automation!

Robin

Thanks Robin for your prompt response.

Can someone help me with this ?

Hi @Mahendra_Reddy

Does the issue happen when you try to open an older project or also when you are creating a new one?

Also, just as a test, could you try opening a project from your Desktop?

its happening when i create new project after installing UIpath studio.
even i tried to launch from desktop, error is same.

Thank you. It is possible that the issue was caused by corrupted installation. For that you could try to reinstall by following this guide How to fix your Studio installation / Licensing issues

But before you do, could you maybe search your Windows Start menu for the Diagnostic tool from UiPath and send me over the output via a private message @loginerror? We would like to investigate it a bit more to make sure no sneaky bugs make it to future releases.

Hi @Mahendra_Reddy , we also noticed the new projects you are trying to create are under a One Drive synced folder. Could you please let us know if changing the project path when creating it allows you to create projects? It might be that there aren’t enough permissions on the One Drive account.
For example, in my case I am using a ‘D:\Test’ path:
image

Also, as @loginerror mentioned, it would really help us if you could send a Diagnostics Tool report. Thank you so much!
