New Trados 2024 SR1 - automatically changing Groupshare project names (locally, not on the server)

Question

I have recently installed the new SR1 18.1.2.6370 upgrade and I immediately started having major issues. 
 All my server project names (on Groupshare 2017, which up until the update worked like a charm) suddently started... changing locally on my machine. When I download a server project from my server, it appears on my project list normally (initally). But then, after a second or two, it changes - and takes the name of the first server project on my list. If I have 20 server projects, all have identical names now. 
 To reiterate - when I download a server project, initially everything is just fine. The problems appears only after a few seconds. No matter if I download projects or if I create them myself - after a second or two of being on the list, all server projects change names. This happens for both my personal GS 2017 server and Groupshares from my clients (they use newer GS versions). This also happens if I manually change project names - after a second from the change they revert to the erroneously-assumed name, too. This means I cannot change the name of any server project at all. 
 This does not seem to affect local projects for some reason - those work normally. Until I publish them to the server - at which point they do change their names after a second or two, too. 
 I tried reinstalling Studio, I tried uninstalling and manually installing it again. For some reason SR1 stopped working as a Groupshare compatible tool for me. Has anyone else experienced this? Is there a workaround for this?

 Hello, 
 I understand that you're still facing issues with the GroupShare project names in Trados Studio 2024 SR1, and I appreciate your patience. Let's explore some additional troubleshooting steps that may help resolve the problem: 
 **Step 1:** **Verify Server Connection** 
 - Ensure that the server connection is correctly set up. Go to `File -> Setup -> Servers` and confirm that the connection details are accurate. If necessary, remove and re-add the server connection. 
 **Step 2:** **Check for Conflicting Software** 
 - Sometimes, other software or plugins can interfere with Trados Studio. Ensure that there are no conflicting applications running that might affect the GroupShare functionality. 
 **Step 3:** **Review User Permissions** 
 - Check if your user account has the necessary permissions on the GroupShare server. Sometimes, permission issues can lead to unexpected behavior. 
 **Step 4:** **Test on Another Machine** 
 - If possible, try accessing the same GroupShare projects from a different machine. This can help determine if the issue is specific to your installation or a broader problem. 
 **Step 5:** **Reinstall Trados Studio** 
 - As a last resort, consider completely uninstalling Trados Studio, ensuring all related files are removed, and then reinstalling it. This can sometimes resolve persistent issues.
