I'm getting "It looks like another unity instance is running with this project open".
I ended all unity related processes in Task Manager under the details tab.
Get-Process unity* returns nothing. There are no processes with unity in the name.
I have rebooted the computer.
I have deleted the Temp folder inside the project folder in an attempt to delete any potential lockfiles.

Thanks for pitching in on this. As I mentioned, I restarted the PC, so no IDE's are currently open.
I tried opening it from a fresh restart and am still getting the same message.

maybe thisll help
i dont know how unity tells if its open elsewhere. could be a simple as a file extension change.

Well, the file wouldn't be locked by a process, right? Since I restarted and the issue persists. I'm guessing it's some type of lockfile, which my research tells me would be in the Temp directory of the project, but I've deleted the Temp directory and had the same issue.

it could have been locked somewhere and never unlocked. Ive had a similar issue working with git
it could also be opened by something not unity and unity just assumes the is opened by unity

You might be on to something here. I would wonder why unity was able to open it successfully once but then not again. Strange. Let me look into something.
Yup, crazy enough, that was it.
So my repos folder is offline synced to a network drive.
That temp folder delete never happened network side and it conflicted.
Once I resolved the conflict and tried opening it again, all was well.
Thanks for the help @toxic lance, sometimes all it takes is another brain thinking outside the box!
