 Step 3: If the repair doesn't solve the issue, you might need to uninstall and reinstall Trados Studio. Remember to back up your settings and resources before doing this.

RWS Support help me to resolve the problem. The solution is as described below 
 Go to: C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Roaming\Trados\Trados Studio 
 Rename folder Studio18 to anything else, Studio18_123 for example During the next launch, SDL Trados will create that folder again. (I had Studio17 and the procedure is the same, I have named it to Studio17_123) Good luck!

Trados Studio > 1. Trados Studio
