Hi :) Perhaps try renaming your User Profile? Sudden change in behavior or weird wonkiness might be down to something going wonky in the User Profile; https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/UserProfile
Renaming the profile means you can still get back to it if it doesn't fix things so it's a good way to "get back to factory defaults".
