Trados 18.1.2.6370 venting

Question

How dare RWS release Trados 18.1.2.6370! It's clear that they used lazy and/or incompetent programmers this time. To load a file (no extensions loaded) takes forever! 
 
 People paid good money for this software to be used as a tool; now these &ldquo;so-called programmers&rdquo; have destroyed it. Can the manager of this system be replaced so that we can eventually get a functioning tool back? 
 
 I know that I will be asked, so here it is:

 Sometimes the problem isn't what it seems, and the reasons for a problem like this could be entirely due to things you have not mentioned at all here. Certainly we had one of the longest Beta programs we have ever had, and this release contained more updates than we have ever included in a release. So our very competent and skilled developers have in fact dared to deliver on a very ambitious release and nothing you have described here came up in the entire Beta program. 
 I also have not seen anyone else with this issue you describe, so this also points to your environment. I know you're frustrated, but a post like this is more likely to get ignored than encourage anyone to help you. 
 I would start with these things if this happened to me: 
 
 It is an update, so I'd be suspicious of the AV/Security software I have installed first of all. Try turning it off just to test the loading of the file and see if this is any better? 
 Where is the file located? If it's in a cloud synched location, like OneDrive or Dropbox for example, make sure that you have set this up properly to ensure the file is actually available locally, and it's not just a footprint that requires downloading before Trados Studio can access it. 
 
 Try those things first and see if they help?

Trados Studio > 1. Trados Studio
