Could be caused by working with OneDrive for example and having your projects file in a OneDrive folder... so if this is the case you should think about addressing that.

In the meantime:

1. Go to C:\Users\[UserName]\Documents\Studio 2019\Projects
2. Rename Projects.xml to Projects_old.xml
3. Re-open SDL Trados Studio 

You will have to open your projects again by using the Open Project command (Ctrl+O) and selecting each project you are working on to bring them back into the Studio interface.  But your project won't be lost, it'll just be removed from the UI until you open it again.

Hi Paul,

Thanks for the prompt reply and support.

Yes indeed, I have the project in an OneDrive directory path but I couldn't imagine it would cause some issues.

I don't know how to remove this One drive path for my Studio projects.

It's the first time it happens.

I will try your solution asap.

Kind regards,

Micha Di Moro

Hi Paul,

Should I then rename Projects_old.xml in Projects_xml again after having opened my project(s)?

I made a save copy of Projects..xml and copied it in another directory.

Regards

Micha

First step accomplished.

I can start Studio 2019 but the projects list is empty.

Of course it is, you just renamed the projects.xml!  So now you start afresh.

The next step would be to open the sdlproj file for each project you want back in your list.  You use the Open Project command for this... not open file.
