Hi,

Thank you for the detail reply.

I think there should be some system file or related file corruption. I know
that you're already performed a reinstallation of the OS. I think you can
also try repair installation if you encounter a same problem in the future.

I hope everything goes well and we look forward to working with you here
again.
