"This method/property must be called on the UI thread. Fix the problem by testing the InvokeRequired"

Question

Recently bought Trados 2019 and finding it more trouble than it's worth. It is constantly throwing error messages up at me like this:

"This method/property must be called on the UI thread. Fix the problem by testing the InvokeRequired".

What is a translator who is not a software developer supposed to do with this? This sort of thing is just wasting my production time. I'm tempted to go back to Trados 2011 or switch to another translation programme. Can anyone enlighten me on this arcane communication, please?

 Clearly nothing a software developer should have to fix either! You could try the knowledgebase as there are some articles there that may explain where the problem is coming from:

 Both of these have some consistency in looking at where your resources are stored. Are you using a network drive, one drive, dropbox etc. for your files?
