Tortoise SVN tutorial (icon overlays missing)

[Raymond Greenwood]

I have just installed TortoiseSVN 1.9.7 on my home computer so I can test drive commands and usage for work repository.

Following along with the tutorial I was then attempting to "CHECKOUT" a working copy to my working folder and do not have any icon overlays?

System Information

Windows 10 with 64 bit os

Tortoise settings  icon overlays status cache set to "shell"

Has anyone encountered this and what is the possible fix?

Thank you for getting back to me Stefan I had already been to that faq page and tried all the solutions provided. 

I did try a little experiment in which i installed my repository on a portable usb device to get around our work network backups. I was able to see the icons and complete the tutorial but when i tried the same with the home pc i described previously i was still unable to see ANY icon overlays? could this have something to do with windows defender or webroot software i am running at home? keep in mind webroot is somewhat dormant as i do not have this particular pc connected to the internet at this time. So it is only running a weekly file scan on only files i introduce with portable device? That seems to be the only logical variable in that I downloaded Tortoise svn directly from the website so i should have a clean copy of 1.9.7  Any ideas as to a solution would be GREATLY appreciated!
