Unity fails to open project with error: Failed to resolve packages: An operation that requires exclusive access to the project..
For some users Unity is failing to open and shows the following error:
Failed to resolve packages: An operation that requires exclusive access to the project is already running and must be completed before another can be started.. No packages loaded.
This issue happens only if the resolve package operation takes over 2 minutes to complete. Users will find this failure randomly while opening their projects.

I had this problem in 2020.1.13f1. My workaround was selecting Continue instead of Retry or Quit, then the project opened with a lot of errors from missing packages, then I opened a scene of the game and right clicked on a random asset in the Project tab/window and then selected Reimport All.

I installed Unity 2019.4.14f1 yesterday and this error occurs each time I open Unity. The description says it's fixed in 2019.4. Is that accurate? Is there a patch I need?

Still happens in 2020.2b10
Because I'm on a very slow internet connection, I frequently have problems with Unity and the Package Manager (like checking for updates in the foreground when browsing, instead of in the background and displaying what's cached).

Is there any workaround for this issue? I am unable to rebuild my project using the latest available beta (2020.2.0b9)

We require our customer to download our package, which is setup to load from github using git lfs, and this error occurs. I hope this gets fixed soon as our business is depending on that.
