Trados Studio icon disappears from taskbar

Hello everybody,

A client of mine came across a strange behaviour of Trados Studio (2019, the latest update): when Studio is minimised, its icon disappears from the taskbar. The program still runs, you can access it with Alt+Tab, but no icon in the taskbar.

What could you advise?

Thank you!

  • Hi

    This is the sort of thing a Windows Repair should fix...

    1. Close all SDL applications.
    2. Open the Control Panel:
      • Windows Vista/7Start > Control Panel > Programs > Programs and Features.
      • Windows 8: Right-click on the screen at bottom-left corner and choose Control Panel > Uninstall a Program.
      • Windows 10: Right-click on Start > Control Panel > Select View by: Small Icons > Programs and Features
      • - or type 'Control Panel' in the search line on your bottom Windows toolbar.
    3. Click/highlight the relevant SDL product from the list (e.g. SDL Trados Studio 2019 etc) and click 'Repair' either on the top toolbar or on the right-click dropdown menu.
    4. Restart Studio/MultiTerm.

    Let us know if that works OK

    Thanks,
