2. Change Format to Turkish (Turkey)
3. Create a new project or open an existing one

Expected result: Project is opened
Actual result: "Failed to load window layout" error window is shown and only "Quit" button works

    Didn't work for mine. I am running it on linux, but i don't think that was the issue. Fixed it as follows:

    1: Close project
    2: Go to <Project Directory>/UserSettings/Layouts
    3: Delete all .dwlt files
    5: Open project
    6: Drink the Coffee

    The best, easiest and the least inconvenient solution I found is as follows:

    1) Go to C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Unity\Editor-5.x\Preferences\Layouts\default
    !!! To be able to see the "AppData" folder you need to enable showing hidden files in Windows !!!

    2) Copy the file Default.wlt (or any of the others, really)

    3) Go to <Your Project Folder>\Library

    4) Delete file CurrentLayout-default.dwlt

    4) Paste the file Default.wlt and change it's name to CurrentLayout-default.dwlt
    !!! NOTICE THE CHANGE OF EXTENSION!!!

    TL;DR - Copy the file Default.WLT to your project's Library folder and change it's name to CurrentLayout-default.DWLT

    2019 worked fine. Had to upgrade for an asset. Used Unity hub to upgrade to 2020 and get this error every single time with everything old or new.
