Hello,
It seems you're having trouble opening Trados Studio 2024 after a forced closure. Here are some steps you can follow to troubleshoot this issue:
**Step 1:** Ensure that Trados Studio is completely closed. Check your Task Manager to confirm that no instances of Trados Studio are running.
**Step 2:** Clear temporary files. Press Windows + R, type `%temp%`, and delete all files in the folder that opens.
**Step 3:** Navigate to the following directory:
`C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Roaming\Trados\Trados Studio\2024`
If you can't find the path, ensure that hidden items are visible in Windows File Explorer by clicking on the "View" tab and checking the "Hidden items" checkbox.
**Step 4:** Rename the `Plugins` folder to `Plugins_old`. This will disable any third-party plugins that might be causing the issue.
**Step 5:** If the issue persists, consider running a repair installation of Trados Studio. Go to Control Panel > Programs and Features, find Trados Studio, right-click on it, and select "Repair".
**Step 6:** Restart your computer and try to open Trados Studio again.
If these steps do not resolve the issue, please provide any error messages you encounter, as this will help in diagnosing the problem further.
