Hello Jutta,  

It sounds like you're experiencing a frustrating issue with Trados Studio 2022. Here are some steps you can follow to troubleshoot and hopefully resolve the problem:  

**Step 1:** Close Trados Studio completely if it is still running.  

**Step 2:** Navigate to the following directory in File Explorer:  

`C:\Users\%USERNAME%\App Data\Roaming\Trados\Trados Studio\17`  

If you can't find the path, ensure that hidden items are visible by clicking on the "View" tab and checking the "Hidden items" checkbox.  

**Step 3:** Rename the `Plugins` folder to `Plugins_old`. This will disable any third-party plugins that might be causing the issue.  

**Step 4:** Optionally, you can run a repair installation of Trados Studio. To do this, go to Control Panel > Programs and Features, find Trados Studio, right-click on it, and select "Repair".  

**Step 5:** Restart your computer and then try to open Trados Studio again.  

If the issue persists, you may want 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 resolve such issues.  

If none of these steps work, consider checking for any recent Windows updates or reinstalling Trados Studio as a last resort.

All of this did not work. My license is still active. If I remove Studio from my computer, do I have to return the license as well? If so, how can I return it. I cannot open Studio at all.
