Trados 2022 fails to launch every time Windows installs a new update

Question

I've been experiencing this issue in the last months and I am not able to use Trados for a couple of days every time this happens. Every time Windows (11) needs to install a new update, Trados won't launch (when the update is available and for one or two days after the update have been installed). It freezes on the launch window, stuck on "Showing application window" and after a while this error message appear:

Error dialog from Trados Studio with a red cross icon, stating 'Unhandled exception has occurred in your application. If you click Continue, the application will ignore this error and attempt to continue. If you click Quit, the application will close immediately. DragDrop registration did not succeed.' with Continue and Quit buttons.

If I click Continue, Trados opens but it is frozen, I cannot do anything.

I tried to repair and reinstall Studio, but nothing changes. After one or two days, everything goes back to normal. Except that I've lost two days of work every time!

 Well, you have already identified the problem: it is Windows update. This means you have problems with your PC, which need to be handled. Trados Studio is not faulty in any way. I have two PCs with regularly installed Windows updates and no such problems. So please have someone repair your PC.
