MPLABX v5.05 freezed at "Opening Projects"

Hi,
The MPLABX was working as normal before. One day, after launching MPLABX software, it is freezed at "Opening Porjects" and I cannot do anything else. 
 
I did try a lot of solution on this forum but no success such as reinstall MPLABX, shut down and turn on PC, delete "var" folder in AppData, ...
 
What I did to solve this problem is:

• close mplabx
• delete "private" folder on "[yourproject]\nbproject\private"
• relauch mplabx

This is now loading all things back again.
I am not sure what is included in "private" folder.

This has been an issue since 5.00.  See this thread:

Specificically, this post:

That hotfix got rid of the issue for me, so give that a shot.
 
No mention of this issue in the release notes for 5.10, so who knows if it got fixed.

Microchip said that MPLAB X 5.10 will have this bug removed. Even, they released a patch for 5.05.
I am now with 5.10 and fortunately did not encounter this bug (yet).

Good to know.


Microchip saying a bug will be removed next version is hardly a guarantee, but good to know this got addressed.
This issue was supposed to be fixed back in May and I think 5.10 finally addressed it?
