got it dude this works faster for me i guess. this does not currently fix the problem

Does it happen to fix it if you do the steps below manually, or do you still get the same issue?

Taking this file, and making a copy of it C:\Program Files\Unity\Hub\Editor\2019.3.0f1\Editor\Data\Resources\Layouts\Default.wlt
Then renaming the new copy to: CurrentLayout-default.dwlt
Then removing the file from C:\Users\xxxx\OneDrive\Desktop\new\Library\CurrentLayout-default.dwlt and then putting the new copy in it's place?

no it doesn't work

You could try deleting everything within C:\Users\xxxx\OneDrive\Desktop\new\Library\ (or just move the folder to another location while Unity is closed) and then open Unity again so it can reimport everything. This can take a long time, though, if you have a lot of large files that it has to serialize, but unfortunately, even then it is not 100% guaranteed to work. I don't really know what causes this bug, but it drives me insane. I am assuming that you can't just update to a newer version of the editor? That would certainly be the ideal solution, but of course, that can't always be done with production projects.

When I upgrade, I encounter many errors in the project.
I will try this now

bro i need to update the version. We tried everything, it doesn't work, thank you very much
