"Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation." when trying to access Project Settings

Hi everyone,

I have been having an issue with Studio for the last two days, basically since I installed the last update. The whole app works fine, except that I can’t access the Project Settings. Whenever I try, I get this infamous error message: "Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation."

My version of Studio is up-to-date, so is Windows. I’ve uninstalled Studio, reinstalled it, uninstalled it again to install a previous version, updated it again. Nothings seems to make any difference whatsoever.

You’ll find below the details log of that error.

I really appreciate your help.

Laurent
