An error occurred when starting a project with the selected options

Burp receives an error upon loading a specific project project. Upon loading a project (even with 'disable extensions' and 'burp setting defaults') the project window will open while the loading window continues working in the background. after a few seconds the loading window informs me: "An error occurred when starting a project with the selected options" "Failed to create Burp project: Cannot invoke 'burp.duu.aF()' because the return value of 'burp.e0.a4()' is null " My options at this point are to "back" or "cancel", both of which close the project im working on.

Hi Does this happen every time you attempt to open the project file? Where are you saving your .burp files to? Are they saved in a shared folder system (like OneDrive)? Could you send me your diagnostics information? You can find this by going to "Help > Diagnostics" within Burp. If you prefer, you can drop us an email at support@portswigger.net with this information.
