If the setting locks that to a window only and not broadcasting it to other window (persistent data), then this would cause it. But, in your case, it works on another window and then it dissappears. Like I said, there is an external factor here. I just can't determine it for now.

Hi Michel,

I think I solved the problem.

Went to Tools/Internet Options/Privacy and set the privacy slicer to "Accept all cookies".

Everything seems to be working now.

Thank you!
