I cannot open Trados 2024

It has worked properly without any problems until today, when it suddenly stopped opening. I have tried deleting the Studio 18 folder, repairing it via the Control Panel, resetting Trados to its default state, and uninstalling and reinstalling it, but the issue persists. The application hangs at "Showing application windows..." and the tool fails to launch properly, with the background going black as shown below:

Trados Studio 2024 splash screen displaying 'Showing application window...' with a black and white background split vertically.

I am using Windows 11 with the latest update installed. Could anyone kindly advise or share a solution?
