When did this start happening?

[Josh65-2201]

Yesterday even on 3.0.15, restarting my pc fixed it but it happen now too

Do you have any network drives?

[Josh65-2201]

No, local and one external drive

[SakuraKade]

The logs mentions something about pcloud, have you ever used that service with files?
My best guess at the moment is that there might be something wrong with CloudDriveDetector.

I managed to reproduce some of the issue, here are the steps:

1. Open registry editor
2. Create key Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\pCloud
3. Create string SyncDrive and set the contents to just a blank string

@Josh65-2201 Can check the SyncDrive value in the registry?

Workaround:
Before you do this please save the contents of the SyncDrive value.

1. Open registry editor
2. Backup Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\pCloud
3. delete key Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\pCloud

Edit: I have to enable recent items, but this replicated behaviour seen in log.
I am having issues getting the recent item icons to disappear.

[Josh65-2201]

I installed then uninstalled it a while ago, there isn't a key/folder for pCloud either.

Ok, It looks like the logs are not of much use in this case.
Gonna have to look closer at the code for loading recent items.

@Josh65-2201 can you check if the icons for Recent Items load in #14423?

[Josh65-2201]

I haven't had this issue happen for a while now so cant be sure. But they do all still load in 3.1.2.0

[yaira2]

Should we close this for now?

[Josh65-2201]

I think this can be merged with #14440 since it still can be reproduce by others.
