Urgent Please help me! I have been battling with SDL Studio for 3 hours now!! SDL Studio does not want to start at all after the last upgrade to the recent version

Urgent, please! I need help, as I have a lot of work to finalize and I guess it is my mistake to do the upgrade in the middle of my urgent project! 

1. I got the notification that there is the latest SR version, so I updated it, but ever since I can not start studio and get all sort of messages! 

2. I uninstalled SDL Studio completely using an advanced uninstaller to make sure there are no traces, as I thought the Plugins are the possible suspect as usual, but again, It does not want to load at all.

Please help me!!

See examples of the error messages I get.

I did everything I know from reading the Knowledge base and previous similar problems but all in vain.
