Windows !!!URGENT!!! Game Project Will Not Load!

Guest
So I've been working on this game project for the past couple of weeks of a school project, and everything was working on until last night, I tried opening the project. I had gotten an error message saying: "Project Load Failed. Unable To Load." I tried everything I was capable of, but the file will still not work. This is really important because the project is due tomorrow and I do not have time to restart it. Any help would be hugely appreciated. Also, I had checked my most recent ui.log and is stated the following:

Yup, I had this same issue. Nobody knows how to fix it. Basically you have to import all your assets into a new project.

I realize I'm bumping an old topic here but I've had this issue in the past myself, and twice in the last week - today, I fixed it. I found a folder: "(windowsuser)/appdata/roaming/GameMakerStudio2/(user)/layouts" and inside that folder, I deleted the folder named after my project and I'm pretty sure that's what fixed the issue. Maybe others can comment on this?
