Trados 2019 decided to do a new setup for no reason.

A couple of weeks ago I clicked on the trados icon and was surprised to see "Let’s setup SDL Trados studio". So I set it up again, and all the projects disappeared from the list. Trados didn't want a password or anything, and it recognised me easily enough (I could see my name in the top right corner). But all my settings had disappeared and I had to disable the Regex Match Autosuggest Provider plugin because I got this message "No registration for type RegexMatchAutosuggest Provider and an implicit registration could not be made. Unexpected exception when initialising view part Regex Match Autosuggest Provider".
It was a bit of a pain, but still workable. But today again when I switched on my computer I got  "Let’s setup SDL Trados studio". Why is this happening? Why does Trados keep on wanting me to do a setup?

  • Tried that, and it didn't help. What's more, I have got that "Let's set up SDL Trados Studio" message again this morning, so adding Trados to the exceptions list in my AV software didn't prevent the forced resets. This is all very frustrating - if it wasn't for the fact that some clients insist on using Trados, I would go back to using Wordfast.
    It's a strange reset though, because I don't have to enter my password or anything, and Trados recognises me, but every time it happens, something different changes. For example, the first time it happened, the list of project disappeared. Today that didn't happen - all the projects are still listed correctly - but this time some of the keyboard shortcuts have changed.
