Hyper-V column resetting every time Hyper-V is closed and re-opened

Hi,

In my Hyper-V client, every column has been added to the 'displayed columns' section, except from the 'replication health' column.
When I add the replication health column, and close and reopen Hyper-V, it disappears.
This means every single time I open Hyper-V, I need to add the replication health column to look at what I need to look at.
I've found that this is only affecting my machine in the workplace (another user has logged in on my machine and found the same issue, I have logged into a different machine and tested with no issues) and I have also found that it is only the replication health column that bares this curse. Every other column will stay where I tell it to.
I've tried disabling and re-enabling Hyper-V which hasn't worked.

I believe the most simplest fix would be to flatten the machine and set up as new (which is what I may just end up doing). Only problem is this would take time and I need to work on the PC for now so I thought I'd post the problem here in the meantime to see if anyone may have come across this issue before.

Thanks.

Are you able to set up Hyper-V on that machine and install a Desktop OS as a VM? Install RSAT and try in there after adding it to the domain.

That would be a temporary "fix" in the meantime.

Use this method (my blog post) to recreate your local profile. NOTE: Rename the existing to YourProfile.OLD when running the registry steps as an admin user. Then copy the content back in when logged back in.

We've seen some funky behaviours when things get a bit munged in %AppData%.
Could be a profile error, yes, so try with a different profile instead of deleting yours.

Repl. ,errors: I configured e-mails in case of errors by using event triggered tasks.

Don't think it's a profile error because every other machine that I've signed into using my account, Hyper-V has worked fine. And also one of my colleagues has signed into my PC with their account, and they are experiencing the same issue. (Domain environment, FYI)
Ok. Setup mail alerts, why even look at a column?
Remove and re-install RSAT on that machine. Something may be munged with the Hyper-V portion.

MS should be notified, anyway. This is bad design.
My solution was the fix for my issue personally, McKnife's contribution pointed me in the right direction.
