I just tested with the AV switched off and there is no difference.
Also, it has worked without issues in the past with AV.

The only change to the system was that I uninstalled Notepad++
yesterday.  Before I did that I uninstalled all the plugins and all of
a sudden my "Desktop" directory was gone.  I do not have an idea
whether this is in any way related and I don't want to blame Notepad++
unless I have evidence of any issues caused by it. So far I could not
find anything unusual.

I checked Windows Application Log and there seems to be always an
error like the one attached whenever the UI reports issues.

Kind regards

robert
