Unable to open existing project after update | Community Edition

Hello All,

I’m currently using UiPath community edition and it got updated to 2026.0.198 STS on 29/07/2026. Post this update, I’m unable to open the existing project using UiPath Studio. I have couple of existing projects where one of them is opening fine but the other one is not getting opened.

I have attached the screenshot and entire logs for reference.

Please note that we have tried restarting, uninstall and re installing again. But none of them helped.

Requesting for your help.

Thank you.

please find below the entire logs

This has been reported by another user as well and being discussed over here

Hi @shahidhaqeel.s,

It looks like there is an issue in the latest release. This kind of issue has already been reported by few others as well.

Cheers!

Hi @shahidhaqeel.s

looking at your log its not really about the project file itself, the crash starts at “No license exist for this installation” and then the ArgumentOutOfRangeException happens inside AddAuthHeader when Studio tries to refresh the folders list from Orchestrator. So Studio is failing to re authenticate after the update and that failure cascades into the folder refresh call and locks up the load

that also explains why one project opens fine and the other doesnt, my guess is the one that fails is linked to an Orchestrator folder (even just for source control or feed) and the other is a fully local project with no cloud dependency, so it never hits that broken call

as a workaround while the bug gets patched, you can roll back to the previous Studio version. Open UiPath Assistant, go to Preferences, Studio version, and pick the last one before 198 STS, that skips the broken auth flow entirely. Also worth turning off auto update for now so it doesnt pull 198 back down

if rolling back isnt an option, try opening studio fully offline (disconnect network before launch), sometimes that skips the failing license/folder refresh call and lets the project open, then you reconnect after

hope it helps, and worth watching that other thread ashok linked since UiPath usually patches these fast !!

Hi! We’ve pushed a fix, and some users have reported that the issue has been resolved. Does the issue still reproduce on your end?
