Message "Parameter is not valid" in SDL Trados Studio 2021 constantly popping up

Question

Good morning, 
 
 recently, when I was translating a memoQ XLIFF source file in SDL Trados Studio 2021 the message "Parameter is not valid" was constantly popping up. I was not able to type the further text (Trados "froze") and had to close Trados and open it again in order to continue. 
 I have tried to rename the folder in C:\Users\User\AppData\Roaming\SDL\SDL Trados Studio, but it hasn't solved the problem. 
 Disabling AutoSuggest helped, but this of course cannot be a permanent solution. 
 Do you know how to fix this error permanently? Or has it something to do with the source file? 
 Kind regards, 
 Malgorzata

Hello Małgorzata Gardocka , 
 The error looks to be graphics related. 
 First, try a simple Windows Layout Reset in Studio 
 
 If this doesn't help, please ensure everything is up to date- (including graphic card drivers). 
 The following Wiki's should help you do this-
