Right. I have seen this issue since the first discovery a lot of times 
on different machines with different builds and not only after an 
update. It just kicks in from time to time. Just had it on a machine two 
minutes ago which I did a clean install last week (1658, Q2D13). I use 
the recalibration to get my machine in a usable state after this.

 From a first glance it is a bit unclear to me what the state here is:
