I think you marked the two posts above as validated responses by mistake - but please correct me if something n them helped you solve the issue, and I'll flag them as validated responses again?

It's worth searching the knowledgebase (click on the link in the first error you received) and you may have found these that might help:

This string contains placeholders for your username name.  So searching for "%User Name%" is likely to yield no results... unless that is actually your username ;-)

Try this instead:

%LocalAppData%\SDL\SDL Trados Studio\Studio16

Don't search for it, just press Win + R (which would be the windows key on your keyboard and the letter R at the same time) and then copy/paste that string straight into the prompt that appears:

Click OK and this should open the folder you need.

If it doesn't and you can't find these folders then you probably need to unhide your hidden files/folders:
