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

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?

    Just a quick note that it's a good idea to not leave posts marked with verified answers if they are not actually resolved because nobody will look at them!

    But let me just summarise this first to make sure I have it right, and then I can report this for clarification (which I'll do in the next post).

    The Core Problem

    A reported bug in this thread concerning Trados Studio 2024 SR1 (18.1.2.6370) that causes GroupShare project names to duplicate locally, making it impossible to manage multiple projects.  Subsequent updates (CU1/CU2) have introduced a secondary issue, causing the termbase/glossary connection to become unstable or non-functional.  As a result, no recent version of Trados Studio 2024 is fully stable for users relying on GroupShare and MultiTerm.

    Root Cause

    Based on the content of this thread the issue looks to be a backward compatibility failure introduced in the SR1 update, specifically affecting connections to older GroupShare versions like GroupShare 2017.  The pre-SR1 version of Trados Studio 2024 did not have this issue.

    Impact

    If confirmed, this prevents users from working with the latest versions of Trados Studio.  It affects anyone working on multiple GroupShare projects, forcing them to choose between a project list that is unusable or a version with unreliable terminology management.

    Current Status & Workaround based on this thread

    The only viable workaround confirmed by the community is to uninstall SR1 and downgrade to the pre-SR1 version of Trados Studio 2024. This is not a sustainable solution and prevents users from benefiting from any new features or security updates.

    What's needed is an update confirming the problem, and whether a fix is planned to address both the GroupShare project name bug and the subsequent terminology connection issues.
