Failed to initialize view 'ProjectsView'.

Question

I have Trados Studio R2, version XXX 18688. This morning I started getting this error: Failed to initialize view 'ProjectsView'. I am unable to open the program as it never load the ProjectsView. I tried the solutions on https://gateway.sdl.com/CommunitySearchResults#q=Failed%20to%20initialize%20view%20'ProjectsView'.&gsc.tab=0 but I am still getting this error. Any hints would be greatly appriciated as I need this to work. Thanks. bo_kristensen@highstream.net

Bo Kristensen Please go to C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\Trados\Trados Studio\17\Plugins\Packages 
 See if there are any apps installed that are "duplicated" If that does not help then try this article: https://gateway.sdl.com/apex/communityknowledge?articleName=000001417 
 Looking forward to your reply

Another reason for this crash can be a bug in Studio (version 17.2.9.18688) that causes wrong data to be written to the UserSettings.xml file in C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\Trados\Trados Studio\Studio17. Specifically, if you select the Due date > Overdue filter in the project list, you will be unable to launch Studio, as this setting is written incorrectly to the file: You get this error on start: If you hit this bug, open UserSettings.xml and look for this section: OverdueFilter Then change this line: OverdueFilter To this: You should then be able to start Studio normally. If you are curious here, the issue is that the setting is written to the wrong place. Note how the line says "ProjectStatusFilter" in Id. There is a separate line with the Id "ProjectDueDateFilter". The overdue filter is written to ProjectStatusFilter and not ProjectDueDateFilter, as it should be. When Studio starts, it attempts to load these filters and attempts to locate a project status filter that matches OverdueFilter. This obviously doesn't exist and so Studio crashes. Clearing out the setting restores the defaults and allow Studio to start. This bug has been reported to RWS and should hopefully be fixed in the next CU. In the meantime, don't use the Project Due date filter with the value Overdue (the other ones work fine). Or if you do, reset it before quitting Studio.
