Sudden ITD pre-scanning error in Studio 2015 (both SR2 and SR3 tested)

Stephanos Siopoulos

Hello, I have been using Studio 2015 with ITD files for over a year now, successfully importing them and converting them to SDLXLIFF files using the project creation wizard.

All of a sudden, a few weeks ago, the following issue appeared, preventing me to work with ITD files since.
I tried repairing my installation to no avail, and I also installed SR3 thinking it would re-register any filters etc, again to no avail.

 

Btw, I'm using Win 10 (Creator's Update) which I'm suspecting is the culprit.
Has anyone else experienced this or similar error?

Thank you in advance for contributing to resolving this issue, as it's severely affecting my workflow.

    Hi Stephanos and Paul,

    Yes, I did update to the so-called Creators Update and ran into a few minor problems, not only with Studio.

    After updating Windows to the Creators Update, Studio's automatic updates mechanism stop working and threw a couple of error messages (something I was able to reproduce on another computer). Deleting the updates folder and running a repair install (right click SDL Trados Studio 2015/2015 from the Programs and Features menu and select Repair) fixed that.

    I had also ran into an issue with Word (of all things) and a few other programs. Most of those issues were minor: an error occurred using a certain function or something simply didn't work.

    Repair installing/re-installing those programs did the trick.

    I'm not a fan of Windows' in-place upgrades. They are much better than in the past, but still not as reliable for a production environment as they should be. That said, it seems this is how Windows is going to get updated from now on, and re-installing the system after every new major update (disguised as an update) is probably an even more of a pain.

    Because those issues are more likely to be Windows related than Studio (or any other program, unless that program is no longer supported) related,  in a production environment I would suggest waiting with major Windows updates for at least 4-8 months.

    Another potential solution would be to remove the Creators Update, or restore a system image taken before the Creators Update was applied. The latter would be the safest option considering all that can go wrong and not necessarily gets undone rolling back Windows to a previous version, and therefore I recommend creating a system image before applying any major update just to be on the safe side. Windows' built-in tool is a good enough and easy solution for that.

    But other than those few annoyances, I didn't notice any other compatibility or stability issue.
