Guys, I am getting the same condition. And to the replies thus far, I am going to apply my same special brand of tactless commentary, since this is the only way I know to be. I AM working on that with the shrink, but there comes a point....

"RB to run as Admin, and UAC is off, and RB is in the default (root) folder". "Another program...."

Assume if you will that all he did was install 2016. Why would he go to a working computer, suddenly change that ridiculous UAC that Windows has, not install in default directory, not run as admin... and all the other yada yada that might follow, when for the last 97 years he has been doing all those things correctly? Nobody sane makes adjustments to a working system. In my case I run XP, like I have since the day I got RB in like 2008, and I will never upgrade that computer. (Again, why break something by trying to make it mo' bettah?) So given that, how would any of those things mentioned have ever happened? As far as UAC, every installation of any Windows OS always sets that annoying little option to on, and you should know that from owning computers and installing OS. After so many years experience, that is number one on my checklist. "Turn UAC OFF!" Now, that is me and maybe some users actually trust that Micro$oft is user friendly (it is not) and just install and go. Microsoft is a greedy, evil, soulless corporation that wants to take over every thought you have and run your computer life for you.

So now to argue with myself.... If this was a bad bug in RB, everybody would be reporting that their style table rebuilt on every use. I really don't know how something can leave PG without it being installed on computers that have had a fresh OS install to see how the newbie level install (all defaults ON) will affect RB. Maybe they do test that way, but bugs like this make me think they do not.

So to toss my dime on this pile, nothing is different on my studio computer from 2008 running XP (other than newer mobo and CPU, but that has zero to do with software), and where I did not have this issue on 2013 and all I did was install 2016, why do I have it now? I (very reluctantly) relented and did the rename of config files (and we should NEVER have to do that!) and that did nothing for the condition. Now I have question about whether I am seeing all the available styles because where it tells me "This can take up to 5 minutes" it takes 15 seconds. Does that mean it is not regenerating as it should? Can someone tell me "You should have exactly XXXXXX styles with a clean install of 2016" so I know?

And remember, as you read, I am not a mean person. I just have no tact and don't waste life energy worrying about someone else's reading intent or mood into my words. I have no control over the thickness of other's skin or sensitivity level. Only mine. No word in the language has intent or emotion, We assign that when we read or hear it.

Yeah, it gets tiring having to put in that disclaimer, but at 65 it is going to take some time to smooth the rough edges. I started late.
