Trados Studio 2024 fails to launch

Trados Studio 2024 fails to launch, seemingly following a Windows 11 update (1-9-2025, .NET framework update). It successfully goes through the splash screen, then it closes itself without any error prompt.

I have tried re-installing Trados Studio as a fresh install, as well as deleting the appropriate data (BaseSettings.xml, Plugincache.xml, UserSettings.xml). Doing the latter does prompt the profile screen to appear, after which the splash screen goes through a few steps and again closes by itself.

Any help or suggestions are much appreciated.

    The most probable cause are the plugins. Please delete these folders:

    • C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Local\Trados
    • C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Roaming\Trados\Trados Studio\18
    • C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Roaming\Trados\Trados Studio\Studio18

    This should allow Studio to start. Afterwards install the necessary plugins from within Studio.
