Spellcheck no longer works - failed to create Settings page

Question

Unfortunately I did a Windows 10 update and Trados update at the same time, so not sure what is causing the problem. 
 
 But if I go to File > Options > Editor > Spelling, I get a pop-up error window that says "Failed To Create Settings Page". 
 
 I tried to rename SpellCheck under AppData/Roaming/SDL and starting Trados again, but no luck :-( Spellcheck does not work. 
 
 Help!!!

Thanks, but unfortunately the problems was much deeper. I did try the Reset, but no luck. I suspected Windows 10 was corrupted as this appeared to be an issue with writing permissions (other programs started to throw weird errors). I tried to Repair Windows, but that didn't work either. Ended up having to do a full Windows Reset and reinstall of Trados. Very time consuming but I have my Trados back! 
 
Have a feeling this was all caused by the last Windows update which failed half-way through. Even though it was apparently successful on the second attempt, some files must have gotten corrupted. I really wish there was a Mac version of Trados :-)

Hi Vincent Schoenfeld , 
 
If you have not tried this already, do a reset. You didn't mention the version you are using so based on Studio 2017 rename this folder (just add _old to the end or something, it's not important what you rename it to) and restart Studio: 
 
c:\Users\[USERNAME]\AppData\Roaming\SDL\SDL Trados Studio\14.0.0.0

Trados Studio > 4. Machine Translation
