I did notice that if I add a server and close Studio, even though the credentials work, when I restart Studio it doesn't automatically try to connect, so it looks as though something is still calling the server on your machine:

If you have removed all your GroupShare projects, and removed the server connection (File -> Setup -> Servers), restarted Studio and this still happens then try a reset.  

To do this just close Trados Studio and then rename this folder:

c:\Users\%username%\AppData\Roaming\Trados\Trados Studio\Studio18\

to c:\Users\%username%\AppData\Roaming\Trados\Trados Studio\Studio18_old\

And as a belt and braces you could delete this folder as well:

c:\Users\[USERNAME]\AppData\Roaming\Trados\Platform\

That removes any servers you might have active.  It won't  break your ability to add a server if you have another project to work on, but will remove any that might be getting seen by Trados through that folder.

Then restart Trados Studio and see if that helped.

Thanks for your help Paul!I will try to do as you're suggesting.

I also had the puzzling suggestion from the chatbot that if I go to File > Setup > Servers, I can then uncheck the  "Automatically connect to servers at startup" option. However, I see no such option in Servers. Only "Add", "Edit", "Delete" and "Check server availability" (note that my interface is not in English so the actual option names maybe be different in English).

Any idea where to find that option?

Thank you!

I think that is a little bit of hallucination from the AI engine.  I'll have a look and see if I can find where that came from and ensure it doesn't happen again.  Training the AI is an ongoing process!

Haha, sounds good. In any case your solution is helping so far. I have been able to work for 15 minutes without being pestered with a "Log In" message.

Excellent... if you get through the day (Sunday... such is the life of a translator!) and it doesn't re-occur perhaps you can just click on the verify answer for the post that helped.  Makes it easier for other users who look for a solution to similar problems, and we use the verified answers to train the AI.

Will do, thanks!
