As for the second screen, how do you mean? Monitor? I'm working with my laptop connected to an external screen. Been doing that for the best part of this millennium.

I think Elisa is asking if the find screen is hidden behind an application or on a different screen... more importantly are you always connected to that external screen?  One problem we see from time to time is users disconnecting the external screen and then finding the find window is still on it... only now they can't see it.

Thanks for your suggestion using Trados Cloud. I don't know that option (it's not a top priority issue but may come in handy).

As regards the second screen I'll give you the full story. Yesterday was Murphy's Law day. We had a power outage in my street (happens very rarely) so I took my laptop with me to a friend's place, where I connected it to his external screen (not as large as my own screen). I don't know if that's why I couldn't see any search window still being open  - and would that explain the find feature in the ribbon being greyed out? That's where I regrettably decided it would be a good idea to install the update.

In any case, the issue now is that I cannot continue to work on my file and will need to start from scratch. Or can I somehow access that file and continue using it in another programme or Studio version?

Probably too late by now... sorry we missed your reply.

The files are all stored locally.  You can see where in the "Location" column of the projects View.  You can also right-click on a project and select Open Project Folder which will open the location of the project files.  Look in the target language folder and you'll find the SDLXLIFF files in there which you can work on directly.  Or try and open the SDLPROJ using Open Project from the ribbon.
