I am running Trados Studio 2022 version 17.0.3.11695

Yesterday, After being prompted to update the Bilingual Excel filetype, I run this update to version 1.0.3.0. Then I have also installed the TMX (version 2.3.1.0) and WordFast TXML (vesion 3.0.2.1) filetypes and the IATE Real-time terminology plug-in (version 3.6.13.0). I continued to work without any issues.

Now, when I try to start Trados Studio, it gets to the "Initializing Views" stage and displays the "Service 'Sdl.TranslationStudio.AlignmentEditor.IAlignmentEditorService could not be started" error. When I click OK on the error, another error is displayed: "Object reference not set to an instance of an object" and startup fails.

I have searched for this error in the forum, but the only solution that seems to be offered is to run trouble shooting steps listed at https://gateway.sdl.com/apex/communityknowledge?articleName=000001414. I have done that, but the issue is still reproducing. Now when I sart Studio, it prompts for the initial configuration steps, and the issue reproduces again. I can't start Studio and I cannot work with it.

Can anybody help?
