2024 Studio Freelance won't open after multiple workarounds

I am having a problem with Studio 2024 Freelance (Trados Studio 2024 SR1 - 18.1.2.6370)

Similar to other threads I have seen here, when I launch it I get the opening box saying everything is loading and initializing, etc., and then the box disappears and Studio does not open.

I have been using Studio 2024 since about February of this year and have had no problems until a few weeks ago (early September), after a Windows 11 update.

However, rolling back the update did not fix the problem. I am using Windows 11 with all latest updates.

I found other threads describing the same problem from months ago. I did the workarounds recommended (renaming folders, etc.) along with multiple reinstalls.

Generally the workarounds would help for one session, but then Studio 2024 either exits suddenly and will not reopen, or if I close Studio 2024 it will not reopen, in both cases showing the behavior described. Going back through the workarounds/fixes then temporarily works again, rinse and repeat. The problem continues to recur.

However -- I have Studio 2024 installed on two machines. On the one machine, where it is installed by itself, it now seems to be working ok, even though I originally had the above-described problems for a while.

However, on the other machine it is installed alongside Studio 2022 SR 2. That caused no problems from February until September -- I was able to use Studio 2024 normally -- and my understanding is it should be ok.

On that machine, though, the problems described are continuing to happen. I can successfully use Studio 2022 on that machine to do my work. But the sequence is a little odd -- I have to open Studio 2022, then click on the package I was sent to work on, and the Studio 2024 (not 2022) opening box appears and then disappears, but then the package opens in Studio 2022 and everything works fine after that.

Any thoughts or advice appreciated. I would like for 2024 to work as it did for months before the problems started.
