Hi Walter, thanks for your reply.

I have tried the advanced re-install, to no avail.

    Thanks for the speedy response OscarV - sorry to hear this persists after an advanced re-install too.

    May I reach out to you via email to work on this together? If you'd like to, you can also log a ticket from your end and let me know the ticket ID so I can get my hands on it. 

    In either case, please keep me posted.
