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.
