Using only the Repair button seemed to fix the problem (at least so far).  The Remove button with a re-install of a fresh copy did not work.

Thanks for the follow-up.

Unfortunately, the Repair button didn't solve the problem for me. The remove button and reinstallation didn't solve the problem as well. I understood the cause of the problem was related with WIP (Windows  Information Protection) policies. Waiting for a policy fix...
