Hello Walter,

Based on your description, it seems like some users are experiencing an issue where the setup screen appears every time they launch Trados Studio 2022 SR1 CU8. This is unusual, especially if a reset of Trados Studio was not performed recently.

The context provided suggests a solution that involves renaming certain XML files. Here's a step-by-step guide based on that:

Step 1: Ensure that Trados Studio is closed on the affected user's machine.

Step 2: Navigate to the following directory: C:\Users\%Username%\AppData\Roaming\Trados\Trados Studio\Studio17

Step 3: In this directory, find the UserSettings.xml file and rename it to old_UserSettings.xml.

Step 4: Next, go to this directory: C:\Users\%Username%\Documents\Studio 2022\Projects

Step 5: Here, find the projects.xml file and rename it to old_projects.xml.

Step 6: After renaming these files, restart Trados Studio and check if the issue persists.

Please note that these steps should be performed on the machines of the users who are experiencing this issue. If the problem continues, it might be a good idea to check for any updates within the application or consider reinstalling Trados Studio.

I hope this helps! If you have any other questions or need further assistance, feel free to ask.

Best regards,

Hi Lydia

Sorry for the late reply. The problem could be solved.

Walter Blaser Glad to hear its working

Hi Walter Blaser,

How did you solve it?

The solution always suggested by RWS seems to me as an oversimplified method that rather feels like breaking a fly on a wheel. Cause in the projects.xml we may have custom task sequences and other settings that are lost when renaming the file. Same applies to the user profile.
