This error is confirmed by colleagues in Unity version: 2019.4.2, 2019.4.6 and 2019.4.8
Confirming issue on my end as well (Unity 2019.4.8). This seems to be caused by the "Prompt To Upgrade Package" under "Project Settings/XR Plug-in Management/OpenVR/"
Edit: The error is persistent again despite having the "Prompt To Upgrade Package" checkbox unchecked.
The following error occurs when the plugin is installed, the Project Settings tab is open and unity is restarted:
How to reproduce the error:
- Create a new Unity Project (e.g. 2019.4.8)
- Install the OpenVR XR Plugin (https://github.com/ValveSoftware/unity-xr-plugin/releases/tag/installer)

- Close Unity and reopen the project

Can confirm this worked for me. Video is in Spanish but easy enough to follow along.

From what I can tell this videos just shows how to overwrite your current layout in the Library folder with the Default layout manually, which to me seems to be the same action as pressing the "Load Default Layout" button on the error message. Not really a solution.
It is a solution because pressing the button to load default configuration does not work and I know why I say it because it was happening to me.

In my case the Load Default Layout option does work. Since the default layout does not open the Project Settings window it does not trigger the error. So your error could potentially have a different cause than the one in this report.

Again, not the same issue as the one causing this.
Confirming this is still current in 2020.2.1f1
Kind of dodgy that this has been around for so long, I wasted a lot of time excluding solutions like those posted here. It is not evident from the Editor log files or the error itself that the OpenVR plugin is to blame so its very difficult toi work out what is going wrong.
I seem to occasionally be getting this error without the openvr plugin in the project, so I suspect something in Unity's windowing system is to blame.
The error in Unity can no doubt be caused by lots of different Editor-based code. In fact that is what is so maddening because there are a lot of proposed solutions that -don't- apply to this instance's very generic catch-all dialog. We don't really know whether the user code is misbehaving or if there is a flaw in the Unity Editor Engine.
That said, it is reliably replicated by:
1 - Creating a new empty project. 2 - Installing the OpenVR plugin. 3 - Saving the project with the Project Settings window open. 4 - Closing and reopening the project.
This means that the OpenVR code is breaking the current version of the Unity Editor, and it should be investigated and fixed by Valve.
