Error message when opening Trados Studio: Service 'Sdl.TranslationStudio.Api.ProjectManagement.IProjectManagementService' could not be started.

Hi!

I am using Trados Studio 2021 Freelancer, upgraded to version SR2 - 16.2.129338 yesterday.

Since the upgrade, Studio won't start up. Whenever I try to do it, the following error message appears:

I tried all the different solutions suggested here:
Running a repair installation
- Resetting Trados Studio basic settings by renaming XML files
Deleting the projects.xml file
- Resetting Trados Studio to default settings
Nothing seems to work! Could you please help?
Finally, if uninstalling/reinstalling Trados Studio works, could you please advice on the best way of doing so?
I highly appreciate your support on this issue as soon as possible!
