Studio 2017 SR1 not starting on Windows 10 PC (has been working fine for months)

Question

Hi everyone,

I have been working with Trados/Studio for over 10 years but since this morning (UTC+2), Studio simply refuses to start (version SR1 - 14.1.6578.0) and I get the following message (in French) :

"Impossible de localiser le fichier de données demandé" (Requested data file could not be located)

I uninstalled Studio. Downloaded it again and reinstalled it. Still does not start and still the same message.
I work on a Windows 10 PC.

Anyone experiencing the same problem? Any clue?

This is causing some very annoying delay in my work.

Thanks.

Joëlle

Hello Joelle Bouille (JoelleBouille) , 
 This sounds as though the TM Repositry has become corrupt. 
 Go to this location: C:\Users\[UserName]\AppData\Local\SDL\SDL Trados Studio\14.0.0.0 
 Find this file: TranslationMemoryRepository.xml and rename it to TranslationMemoryRepository_old.xml 
 Now re-open Studio and see if you still experience the issue.

Hello Fabienne Bougant , 
 By renaming the folder -you are essentially isolating/quarantining the corrupt repository. 
 Once you restart Studio a new repository is created. 
 After you have restarted Studio and everything works as normal again you can go and delete the renamed (-old) folder if you wish. 
 I will close this thread now as its very old and the answers are confirmed. 
 Please feel free to open a new thread if you need further help.

Trados Studio > 1. Trados Studio
