Studio 2021
I lost a drive (D) and since then I get an empty project list. When I add projects manually, then close Studio, then reopen, projects disappear again.
I can see a C:\Documents\Studio 2021\Projects\projects.xml file.

Hello,
It seems like you're experiencing an issue with your Trados Studio 2021 where your project list is not being saved or displayed correctly. This could be due to a corrupted projects.xml file or an issue with the SDLTrados Studio.exe folder. Here's how you can try to resolve this:
Step 1: Close Trados Studio 2021.
Step 2: Navigate to the following location: C:\Users\YOUR USERNAME\Documents\Studio 2021\Projects.
Step 3: Find the file named 'projects.xml' and rename it. This will force Trados Studio to create a new projects.xml file when it restarts.
Step 4: Now, navigate to this location: C:\Users\YOUR USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\SDL\Platform\Identity.
Step 5: Find the folder named 'SDLTrados Studio.exe' and rename it. This will reset the settings related to Trados Studio.
Step 6: Restart Trados Studio 2021.
Step 7: Go to File -> Setup -> Servers and re-add the connection to your Group Share server.
Step 8: Try to open your project again in a new empty folder.
Please remember to replace 'YOUR USERNAME' with your actual username on your computer. If the problem persists, it might be a good idea to reinstall Trados Studio 2021.
I hope this helps! If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

There is no such path:
Step 4: Now, navigate to this location: C:\Users\YOUR USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\SDL\Platform\Identity.
And no such folder:
Step 5: Find the folder named 'SDLTrados Studio.exe' and rename it. This will reset the settings related to Trados Studio.
Also, I tried a Studio repair which did not fix the issue.
Close Studio and rename the projects.xml file to projects old.xml for exmaple.
Mine is here: C:\Users\[MyUserName]\Documents\Studio 2022\Projects, not exactly where you said…
Now restart Studio. Does it work?
I had done that to no avail. I uninstalled Studio, deleted all existing projects.xml files, reinstalled Studio, the issue still remains!
