@zorxd
I didn't say that a solution was readily available in the other tickets, otherwise they wouldn't still be open. I'm saying that this is:
- a problem that cannot be reproduced easily (or at all).
- a problem that doesn't happen on a virgin install.
- a problem that may have various sources and reasons for occurring.
- a problem that doesn't have a "fix" readily available. Or at all...

Hello, In my case it turned out the problem was caused by CheckPoint VPN. Upgrading to version E80.80 fixed my issue.

Even, I had the same issue. Uninstalling the CheckPoint VPN from my office laptop solved the issue.
