Hi,

 

I finally solved the issue by deleting somr registry keys and then encountered it again just today. I decided to solve it definitively.

 

I haven't explored all possibilitiies but here is a simple solution: just delete the following key

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\Local Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\Bags

 

By deleting this key you wil lose folders customization. this is probably not such a big deal but you have to know.

 

Now, I don't know if this is particular to my configuration I suceeded in solving the issue by deleting only 1 value:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\Local Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\Bags\15\Shell\{5C4F28B5-F869-4E84-8E60-F11DB97C5CC7}\mode

 

Hope tis information help whoever has this issue
