Method 1: Rename or Delete the Ubisoft Connect Launcher Folder

Corrupted launcher data is the most common cause of this error. Removing or renaming the launcher folder forces Ubisoft Connect to rebuild it.

2. Open This PC.
3. Go to the C: drive.
4. Open the Users folder.
5. Open your username folder.
6. Open the AppData folder.
   • If you don’t see AppData, enable Hidden items from the View menu.
7. Open the Local folder.
8. Locate the folder named Ubisoft Game Launcher.

You can now do one of the following:

• Rename the folder (for example, Ubisoft Game Launcher.old), or
• Delete the folder completely.

After doing this, try launching Ubisoft Connect again.
If the error still appears, move on to the next method.
