Mr. Sharief, I have the same case but i don't have de BOOTDVD because my upgrade was downloaded from the internet, so this solution can work in my case? Thanks.

Google drive was causing my issues, I used ShellExView to narrow it down.

I still have Google drive on my system but I have disabled the Icon Overlay Handler, I believe this adds a small tick on the thumbnail icon to indicate it has been sync'd to the Google drive and my problems are gone.

I'll execute these test in some minutes (I'm downloading an update for Windows 8 right now).

Just one aditional info for this issue, it happens only on my main user. The Guest user works like a charm.

Another adition: the ShellExView don't solved my issue... I turned off all non-Microsoft items and the issue remain!
