Solution

  1. Go to the directory of the configuration file of TestStand which is normally located at C:\ProgramData\National Instruments\TestStand <version>. There you will see a .cfg folder with some settings files in it.
  2. Move it out of the folder to make it empty and backup it in another place.
  3. When the folder is already empty. Try to launch the TestStand. The new launch will create a new configuration file and you might need to reconfigure your environment to the one that you prefer.
