Hi Christiaan,

Thank you. 
For the moment, it works again. I updated TeXLive to the 2021 version and I 
switched off the auto-sync feature of the Microsoft Office cloud. My folder is 
inside the cloud. 

Do you know by any chance why a file is suddenly called 
filename-computername-number.pdf, please? 

"When we don’t have a file to track, we simply cannot track a file.” The old 
file is still there, but somehow it switched to a new pdf name and I certainly 
did not requested this feature in my terminal when executing pdflatex.

Still, thank you for your reply.
Best regards
Gudrun
