Hello Luc,  

It seems you're experiencing an issue with Trados Studio 2024 not starting properly. Here are some steps you can follow to troubleshoot and potentially resolve this issue:  

**Step 1:** Close all RWS applications completely.  

**Step 2:** Check for any pending Windows updates.  

- Go to the Start menu, type "Check for updates," and select the option.  

- Install any updates found and restart your computer.  

**Step 3:** Run a repair installation of Trados Studio.  

- Open the Control Panel and navigate to 'Programs and Features.'  

- Find Trados Studio 2024 in the list, right-click on it, and select 'Repair.'  

- Restart Trados Studio after the repair process is complete.  

**Step 4:** Reset Trados Studio settings.  

- Navigate to the following folder: `C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Roaming\Trados\Trados Studio\`  

- Rename the folder corresponding to your version (e.g., 'Studio17' for Trados Studio 2024) to something like 'Studio17_old.'  

- Restart Trados Studio.  

**Step 5:** Check for any third-party plugins that might be causing the issue.  

- Navigate to the same folder as in Step 4 and look for a 'Plugins' folder. Rename it to 'Plugins_old' to disable any plugins temporarily.  

**Step 6:** If the issue persists, consider running Trados Studio as an administrator.  

- Right-click on the Trados Studio icon and select 'Run as administrator.'  

If none of these steps resolve the issue, it may be beneficial to check for any antivirus software that could be interfering with the application. Adding the Trados Studio installation folder as an exception in your antivirus settings can sometimes help.

Hi Luc Steenbergen 

Please delete "LanguageCloudMachineTranslation.bin" from C:\Users\%Username%\AppData\Roaming\Trados\Trados Studio\Studio18 and then try opening Trados again.

Kind regards,

Thanks. This does the trick.

Kind regards,

Luc

Hello,
I had the same issue earlier this afternoon. After trying several solutions that didn’t work, I ended up completely uninstalling Trados Studio 2024 Freelance.
It managed to reopen, but without any AI-related features (no Trados Copilot or Language Weaver).
It was only when I came to this forum to report the issue that I realized someone else had the same problem, and the suggested solution worked.
However, I lost several hours because I had to reinstall all my plugins and reconfigure the software.
