How can I solve this issue?

Solution

This issue is caused by the TestStand configuration files going corrupt. 

You can solve the issue by removing the files found at C:\ProgramData\National Instruments\TestStand 2019 (64-bit)\Cfg and rebooting the systems. This procedure will generate new configuration files.
