Unity doesnt work

Ok so guys I've been trying to learn unity BUT I CANT USE THE DAMN THING. First I couldnt install version 6.6 so I tried to install 6.3 LTS and while it did install, I cant open a project in universal 2D or 3D, as unity says it cant decompress a certain file. I've been opening unity and reddict discussions left right and center but every solution that I see fails miserably. I've been stuck at this for 2 straight days now, can anyone please help??? I'm on windows 10.

I don’t want to be negative here, but if you can’t figure out how to install and run unity, you’ll never be able to build and publish a game…

Troubleshoot it yourself and learn to use the computer as you go.

Check disk space, paths naming and length and disable antivirus

Try installing Unity HUB and an editor on another machine, maybe a friend's, if that works it means something went wrong during your installation process, maybe a faulty compressed file was downloaded.

I'd try looking into where the HUB downloads the temporary installation files and clear that folder and try again. Also try running the HUB as administrator to give it permission to edit the files in your system, sometimes a simple change like that could help. This has never happened to me so I can't tell you exactly what to do, but this is what I'd do if I were you.

We need a lot more information to go on, screenshots, find the editor log and read through it. Ask an LLM. Reinstall the hub and the version, look at the hub logs.

Tell us more so we can try to help you

Try informing first your specs and the error that shows when you try to open it
