Yes..

The problem keeps returning for the same PC's every week.

looking to solve the problem for good, and not to redefine the registry every time

This is just getting silly now.

We only use this as a secondary storage.
I left the user one week and all was running ok. Added Kerio Connect to Outlook and next day boom profile broken again.

Update for my case (perhaps written somewhere else):

Open Registry, go go " Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curren tVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders" and check permissions for "User Shell Folders" if "ALLE ANWENDUNGSPAKETE" (German) / "ALL APPLICATION PACKAGES" (or so) has Full-Access and read, see screenshot.

After this, without a reobot my Start Menu worked again, and the search bar in Explorer too.
This worked for me too, and it can be solved programmatically. Get the SetACL CLI tool:
https://helgeklein.com/download/#download-setacl

Then run this, should be self-explanatory:
SetACL.exe -on "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders" -ot reg -actn ace -ace "n:S-1-15-2-1;p:full"

Where "S-1-15-2-1" is the well-known SID for "ALL APPLICATION PACKAGES" ("ALLE ANWENDUNGSPAKETE" in German Windows versions) according to the official docs.

Still waiting for a final fix and a way to resolve the not working windows search. Its up to GFI to fix it even its related to Microsoft. If GFI found what going on he shold tell us how to resolve it. We PAY for subscription!

Update troubleshooting: The problem appears again after all windows system update.
Actualy the fast and durable solution is recheck the permissions for " Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curren tVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders". works whithout reboot the OS.
in many case i have deleted "ALL APPLICATION PACKAGES" user and readd it whith full access permissions.

Been having this corrupt profile thing happening for a few months now. It's affected about 15-20 machines. I've been rebuilding Windows Profiles as a solution but it really is a headache! Most users its only happened once, but now it seems to be happening a second time to the same users. I did try the registry permission fix. "ALL APPLICATION PACKAGES" wasn't even listed under the users, so I had to re-add it. Once adding it back, giving it full permissions to " Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curren tVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders" and rebooting, everything started working again. Hoping it doesn't revert back like other users have reported. But so far I much rather change permissions like this then re-create a whole new windows profile! I really hope Kerio fixes this issue soon! I do not have high hopes though. Honestly thinking of switching away from Kerio, we've had countless problems with this program. Started a few years back when they released a bad update that crashed the server repeatedly and its been nothing but constant issues since then. We are on 9.4.1 and I am honestly afraid to do any updates, because I feel anytime I do it breaks something else. Being the only IT person in the company, I need something more reliable with less issues. Takes too much of my time doing these fixes.

Hi, we have created a task in Active Directory using group policies and had it distributed automatically. In it, a batch is executed every time the PC is rebooted. It has the content as <_at_>Schuelke described above. Since then we have peace.

Thanks to everyone, I have been looking for a solution to this problem for months.
I notice that the ACL of the registry folder " HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ Explorer\User Shell Folders" is not correct, and have wrong a subfolders to remove (software/microsoft), I simply remove wrong ACL and re-enable inheritance, all done automaticaly.
Thanks.
