Question improvement suggestion: Provide the exact version of Trados Studio you are using and any specific error messages you encounter when trying to open the application.
In the meantime, based on the information you have provided, here is a suggested answer to your question:
Hello,
It sounds like you're experiencing an issue with Trados Studio 2024 not opening after updating the IATE and Language Weaver plugins. Here are some steps you can follow to troubleshoot and potentially resolve the issue:
**Step 1:** Close all RWS applications.
**Step 2:** Navigate to the following path in Windows Explorer:
- For Trados Studio 2024: `C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Roaming\Trados\Trados Studio\18`
**Step 3:** Rename the `Plugins` folder to `Plugins_old`. This will disable all plugins temporarily.
**Step 4:** Check the `Local` folder as well:
- Go to `C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Local\Trados\Trados Studio\18` and rename the `Plugins` folder there too.
**Step 5:** Restart Trados Studio and see if it opens correctly.
**Step 6:** If it opens successfully, you can reinstall the necessary plugins from the RWS AppStore, ensuring you have the correct versions compatible with your Trados Studio installation.
If the issue persists after these steps, consider running a repair on your Trados Studio installation through the Control Panel.

TRADOS STUDIO 2024 SR1 18.1.3.6657
quand je lance le raccourci clavier, cela s'interrompt après "chargement des modules d'application"
J'ai essayé de réparer, mais ça ne fonctionne pas;
I am sorry, but I don't speak French, please follow the above instructions to rename the Plugins folders.

when i launch the keyboard shortcut, it stops after "loading application modules"
I tried to fix it, but it doesn't work;
I solved that problem by uninstalling Trados Studio, restarting the computer, and reinstalling Trados studio. Somehow I had to repeat this solution, so I uninstalled, restarted and installed twice.
Have you tried this? I already explained above, the repair does not disable the Plugins folder.
