    I found a fix.

    I placed the following commands to Notepad:

    ech0 off

    taskkill /f /im explorer.exe

    taskkill /f /im shellexperiencehost.exe

    timeout /t 3 /NOBREAK > nul

    del %localappdata%\Packages\Microsoft.Windows.ShellExperienceHost_cw5n1h2txyewy\TempState\* /q

    timeout /t 2 /NOBREAK > nul

    start explorer

    ech0 on

    Saved the file as ClearTileCache.bat and opened it. Issue is gone.
