    Found a workaround for my case:

    What caused the bug: Updating unity engine did not update URP and caused the URP to become incompatible with new unity version.

    why the URP refused to update? i have no idea.

    workaround:

    1 - go to .\unity\*your project dir*\Packages and make sure that those 3 packages are not listed there:

    -> com.unity.render-pipelines.core
    -> com.unity.render-pipelines.universal
    -> com.unity.shadergraph

    if they are listed under this directory, it means you made a local override of URP. You will need to manually rewrite your override in the new version.

    once you made a backup of those files, remove them.

    2 - close your IDE, close unity.
    3 - .\unity\*your project dir*\Library\PackageCache and delete those:

    -> com.unity.render-pipelines.core
    -> com.unity.render-pipelines.universal
    -> com.unity.shadergraph

    restart unity and it will be forced to redownload URP to the lastest version.

    having the same problem:
    source: UniversalRenderPipelne.CS Line 887:
    "
    context.Submit(); // Actually execute the commands that we previously sent to the ScriptableRenderContext context
    "
    Being caused by gizmo calls from ScriptableRenderContext.CS

    USING: Unity 6000.051f1
    Worth of note:
    -> No default camera gizmo gets rendered.
    -> Can be ignored as long as gizmo's are off in scene view
