Error "object reference not set to an instance of an object" and then Trados closes.

I have Studio Trados 2022. 

I was working on a project, closed it, and then suddenly got the "object reference not set to an instance of an object" error message. When I click OK, Trados closes.

When I opened it again, the same error message appears, and when I click OK, it closes.

I tried to restart the computer. Did not help.

I tried to repair the installation. Did not help.

I de-activated and uninstalled, then re-installed. Did not help.

I have work to do and I'm stucked. I'm desperate, and so sick and tired of this #$%#$ piece of software.
