Cannot verify files when using a forbidden terms list

I keep getting the "Failed to verify document: Object reference not set to an instance of an object" error when using a termbase that used to work smoothly with Trados Studio 2019 + Windows 8.

I have updated my OS and I cannot use the same termbase any more (still using Trados Studio 2019, but now with Windows 10). I have read similar messages here and I have already tried reorganizing the TB, updating Windows, updating drivers, etc., to no avail.

I am including the error message here, in case anyone can help me understand what the issue really is. 

I must say that the Verify features works just fine if I do not check any of the options I would to enable (i.e., check for forbidden terms in target and check if preferred terms have not been used).
