Where are your project files coming from?
Across a network, on a sharedrive somewhere or local to your C drive?

Out of curiosity, do you have plugins installed?

Try removing them and see if that helps.
This can be done by renaming both folders as backup: C:\Users\lusername]\AppData\Roaming\SDL\SDL Trados Studio\16\Plugins


Launch Studio and test. You can then restore the folders name as you see fit.

Looking forward to your confirmation

The project files are on a server that we connect to via VPN.  I have tried to rename those plugin folders but it is still taking more than 10 minutes to open a file.  I really think Windows 11 is causing these problems as we are all experiencing this issue.  I really hope someone at RWS can fix this quickly as the software is virtually unusable
