"Object reference not set to an instance of an object" - yes, THAT age-old problem again!

I face this issue on an updated registered version of Trados 2019 as well as an updated trial version of Trados 2021. If I try to use an existing termbase, adding a term to it leads to the same. I tried to google it but solutions there didn't do the trick.
