Hello,  

It seems you're encountering an issue with accessing project settings in Trados Studio after an update, which is resulting in the error message "Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation." Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot and potentially resolve this issue:

**Step 1:** Verify the Version  

Make sure you are using the latest version of Trados Studio. You can check this by going to Help > About Trados Studio. Ensure that your version is compatible with the World Server Compatibility Pack you have installed.

**Step 2:** Check Project Selection  

Ensure that you have an active project selected in the Projects view. The Project Settings button will only be active if a project is selected.

**Step 3:** Remove and Reinstall World Server Components  

1. Close Trados Studio.

2. Go to Control Panel > Programs & Features and uninstall the World Server Components.

3. Restart your computer if prompted.

4. Reinstall the correct version of the World Server Compatibility Pack from the RWS AppStore that matches your version of Trados Studio.

**Step 4:** Reset User Settings  

1. Close Trados Studio.

2. Navigate to `C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Roaming\Trados\Trados Studio\Studio17` and rename the `UserSettings.xml` file to `old_UserSettings.xml`.

3. Restart Trados Studio and check if the issue persists.

**Step 5:** Clear Temporary Files  

1. Close Trados Studio.

2. Press Windows + R, type `%temp%`, and delete all files and folders in the Temp directory.

3. Restart Trados Studio.

**Step 6:** Check for Conflicting Settings  

If you have multiple Translation Memories or Automated Translation providers, try removing them temporarily to see if that resolves the issue. You can do this by right-clicking on the project, selecting Project Settings, and navigating to Language Pairs > All Language Pairs > Translation Memory and Automated Translation.

If these steps do not resolve the issue, please provide additional details about your Trados Studio version and any other troubleshooting steps you've attempted. This will help in further diagnosing the problem.
