How to solve android studio loading project? Cannot load project: java.lang.IllegalStateException: @NotNull method

Question

I tried to reopen the project in Android studio but it shows the message:

"Cannot load project: java.lang.IllegalStateException: @NotNull method com/intellij/openapi/progress/ProgressManager.getInstance must not return null".

How to solve this problem? I already tried restarting Android Studio.But the issue still persists.

Answer 1

Closing IDEA via Task Manager and restart it solved it for me. No Laptop restart or cache deleting needed.
