Trados Studio 2021 SR2 - 16.2.9.9198 - no project list xml created

Dear team,

I recently migrated all files and programs to a new computer. I activated my 2nd Studio license on the new system. Studio seems to work fine except my project list is empty every day when I launch the program. When I select Open Project, the path points to the correct folder on my system that has my project folders, and I can open the project that way.

I am very used to having a filled project list though. Not sure why it is not creating the project xml file. I checked some other posts and read a knowledgebase article about making sure the path of the file Sdl.Project.Api matches the path of where my project xml file is stored exactly. That path was pointing to my old computer. I fixed it in Notepad and thought it should work now but my project list is still empty when I open Studio again, and my project xml file has an older date, not the date from any recent projects I have created since switching to the new system.

My project list on my old system was pretty long and it was very convenient to refer back to older projects. Can anyone point me in the right direction what the issue might be? My files and folders are all stored in a local Dropbox folder. I had the same setup on my old system and never had any issues with my project xml being empty or corrupted. It worked just fine for the last 3 years or so. Also had it in Studio 2019.

Thanks in advance,

Karin West
