SDL Studio 2019: "Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation" after trying to confirm a segment

Question

Hi all, 
 Since a few days, I receive the error message "Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation" each time I try to confirm a segment. 
 I reset Studio, desinstalled/reinstalled it, but nothing changed. 
 SDL team also suggested me to "Reset window layout", but it changed nothing. 
 It does not help me from translating/proofreading nor delivering a project, but I cannot commit any segment to the TM any more, so the fuzzies and reps do not propagate and it's pretty damaging for big projects. 
 I changed nothing to my computer, did not install a software or anything before this problem appears. 
 Any idea of where the error could come from? 
 Thank you, 
 Chlo&eacute;

is this something you can help with? 
 In the meantime, Chlo&eacute; Lafitte , here is some information that will help you provide the right info to get help: 
 " When posting a question, the more detail you can provide the better. 
 It is always helpful if you can provide as much information as possible regarding the issue, along with your actual Studio version, (Help> About Studio), the Operating System and MS Office version. 
 You can add also add images and files -

And include the ' error stack ' if you have one. 
 
 Simply save the error stack to your desktop and add this to your post ." 
 The 'error stack' is an error report file that will help diagnose the problem. So, confirm a segment and when the error message appears, click in the square blue icon and make sure you save it to somewhere you can find it, then drag it to a new post on this thread or add it via 'Insert>Image/video/file' as in this image:

 This Windows error message can be triggered by many things so is not specific enough to diagnose the problem. 
 I hope this helps, 
 All the best,

Thanks Alison Field for helping out. 
 Chloé Lafitte Thanks for letting us know this worked for you. 
 Just information for others coming across this thread- 
 Its a common issue with Windows updates, in that, they aren't always completely installed automatically and in the correct order and require a manual update from time to time.

Hi Chlo&eacute; Lafitte 
 I'm so glad your problem is solved! 
 I think Studio or its predecessor was set by default to automatically update but now the choice is the users: 
 
 Select the option I have highlighted if you'd like Studio to be kept automatically updated - also make sure to open MultiTerm and check if there are updates via the Help tab. Nowadays it is important that the two pieces of software remain up to date together. 
 I have it set to Automatic Check so I can decide when I want to make the download (I sometimes use my phone as a hotspot when working on long journeys so want to wait till I have access to WiFi again). When an update is available, I see the 'Notifications' icon changes from grey to red. Click on the bell and you will read a message indicating the availability of the update... 
 
 Have fun using Studio and MultiTerm! 
 Thanks for letting us know, 
 Have a lovely weekend!

Have you tried to reset window layout? Go to View menu and use this command. Typically it helps with exactly this error.
