After updating unity to latest version, the unity launcher is blank

Yesterday I updated my unity to latest version..

Then the launcher is blank.

And when i open any .unity file.. It opens the editor with a error.

Error loading file:///C%3A%2FUsers%2FBuckyDroidz%2FAppData%2FRoaming%2FUnity%2FPackages%2Fnode_modules%2Funity-editor-home%2Fdist/index.html#/login

Unity is still working and running the project.. But unity launcher is not working

After searching on google I found a fix. I mean I have to add some file in package folder.. But there was a link to download those files and the link is dead...

Help Me!!

This is a issue with 2017.2 as well
To fix
go to C:\Program Files\Unity\Editor\Data\Resources\Packages

You can see 4 tgz files

  1. unity-editor-home.0.8.30.tgz
  2. unityeditor-cloud-hub-0.0.15.tgz
  3. unityeditor-collab-history.0.6.14.tgz
  4. unityeditor-collab-toolbar.0.7.15.tgz

Use an unarchive program (I used 7-zip file manager) to open each one of these and extract contents (dist folder and package.json file) to your Roaming folder C:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Unity\Packages\node_modules

After extract, the folder looks like this..
..\AppData\Roaming\Unity\Packages\node_modules\unity-editor-home
..\AppData\Roaming\Unity\Packages\node_modules\unityeditor-cloud-hub
..\AppData\Roaming\Unity\Packages\node_modules\unityeditor-collab-history
..\AppData\Roaming\Unity\Packages\node_modules\unityeditor-collab-toolbar

and unity-editor-home like below (one level subfolders shown) ..\AppData\Roaming\Unity\Packages\node_modules\unity-editor-home\dist
..\AppData\Roaming\Unity\Packages\node_modules\unity-editor-home\package.json
..\AppData\Roaming\Unity\Packages\node_modules\unity-editor-home\README.md

Looking at your SO username, it looks like this is a problem with your computer username.The D in your name is probably "Ď" or some other character and Unity is having problem reading that file path(C:/Users/username/AppData/Roaming/Unity/Packages/node_modules/unity-editor-home/dist/index.html#/login). This causes license check to fail.

Two things to try:

Method 1.

Change your username

A.Change your name to valid English characters

B.Uninstall and install Unity again to recognize that change.

If this does not fix your problem, do method 2.

Method 2

Do manual Activation

A.Disconnect your internet/wifi.

B.Open Unity. Go to Help -> Manage License

C.Click on Manual Activation.

D.Click on Save License or Save License Request(Depends on Unity version)

E.Connect to your internet/wifi.

F.Go to https://license.unity3d.com/manual then upload that saved license there. Follow steps to on the website to create a license on that website. Make sure to chose free unity version as the license type. When everything is done, you will be able to download a key file. Download that file.

G.Disconnect your internet/wifi again.

H.Open Unity. Go to Help -> Manage License

I.Click on Manual Activation.

J.Click on Load License then choose the file you downloaded from step F.

You can now connect to your internet/wifi again. Restart Unity and test if the problem is still there.
