    Perhaps this problem is manifested because of the third-party theme you have installed and enabled. Revert to the default theme and see if the problem persists.

    Hello Cr7NeTwOrK,

    You might see if doing a system restore using a restore point dated before this happened may be able to fix it for you.

    Hope this helps,
