String was not recognized as a valid DateTime.

Question

I keep getting the error message &ldquo;String was not recognized as a valid DateTime&rdquo; 
 It only seems to happen in Studio 2021 and only when I have more than one tab open in Editor. The message appears when I switch from one open tab to another. I can continue working but Studio behaves oddly (functions stop working, TM issues) and I have to shut down and reopen the app.

 Probably related to this problem:

 The development team are aware of it and will resolve in a future release. Until then the locale you are using for windows seems to be the only workaround we have.

 Did the workaround changing the language in your windows settings work for you?

 Can you remember not to switch between open translations while using the Advanced Display Filter? 
 Or is this problem caused by something else for you? If it does please create a new thread and provide details of when it occurs. 
 For reference the problem shared in the original post, as this message could be caused by other things, is our reference CRQ-23920 (just to make it easier to follow up on). To date this work has not been prioritised over other things but it is currently assigned as a P2 High so should get some attention. Loredana Stoia fyi.

 If you can name the products and a dozen of these aspects for each one it would certainly be informative for us so I really would be interested to hear your opinion.

 I understand the emotion behind this statement so won't correct you technically... other than to say Win 95 support was ended in 2001 so you do the maths. But I think we all agree we'd love to have a streamlined software that loads fast and never crashes. 64-bit is a well misunderstood comment many users make, but there is no doubt it would help handle large files. 
 The development team don't just keep adding new features and have been making significant changes to the underlying code in Trados Studio for some years now as we prepare to be able to support the platforms that most users will be asking for in the future. It isn't easy, and we appreciate the patience of all of our users, but we will get there and every new release does get closer in many ways to allowing us to attain the goal of a faster and more robust solution that is capable of supporting all of our userbase into the future. Certainly we're not afraid of feedback and do welcome it in these forums. It can be painful to have to deal with similar complaints from other users, and from problems that go unsolved for a long period of time, but it also serves as a reminder of what we need to solve and we are committed to this.

Hello Ian Teacher ,

 Are you also running Studio 2019 as well? and do you perhaps have the Community Advanced Display filter (2019) installed? 
 If so, please remove the CADF and see if the problem persists. 
 It may also be worth trying to repair the TM(s) and see if this helps also-
