> Glad to hear that the issue does not occur in Clean Boot mode. You may

>
> 1. Select the tab for the last file you enabled and remove the checks from

> 2. Click the Apply button
> 3. Reboot your computer and verify the issue has not reappeared.
> 4. Replace each check mark one line at a time.
> 5. Click the Apply button.
> 6. Reboot your computer.

> When the issue reappears you will then know which line or command is
