Description

I am using the LTS version for my game and keep running into a bug where the IDE just refuses to load my project. This happens randomly, sometimes even without me having changed anything between opens of the project.
It opens it and then is done, also with Analyzing project or whatever, and everything is there but as soon as I try to interact with anything it starts loading again and everything disappears.
This makes it impossible to open the project.

After a bunch of restarts it sometimes randomly starts loading normally again, but sometimes I also have to go and delete the files in the Appdata Layouts directory for the given project which usually fixes the issue.
Still pretty annoying and not very "stable" imo

Expected Change

Loading project always works

There's a whole load of filewatcher deletion events in there - you aren't doing source control, file sync operations or something while it's loading?
Strangely it's picked up that the .yyp itself has been deleted a few times, or the OS has told it that it thinks that's what's happened, which is likely why the workspace just disappears as it thinks it's lost the project.

I also see a load of gadget warnings as well, that generally suggests that the IDE didn't quite clean-up after itself when being re-installed/upgraded.. you might want to try reinstalling it via the full clean guide we have here: https://help.gamemaker.io/hc/en-us/articles/115002062812-How-to-perform-a-fresh-install-of-GameMaker which should get rid of any stray dlls. This can happen if the OS has locked the files while uninstalling a previous version, so they get left around.

I'll keep the ticket open just now until you get back to me, but there's not much else I can help with, I'm afraid!

I am not using source control or doing anything unusual. It's also only happening on the LTS version, not in the regular version.
