Different views after starting AutoCad but workspace and CUI settings correct.

Hello all,
Who can help me solve this annoying problem?

When I want to start AutoCad, I may only see my own workspace/desired screen layout after doing this a few times.
In my workspace you only see the (classic) toolbars and the external references, the layer properties manager and the properties palettes (auto-hide) are visible. The ribbon is not visible because I don't like working with it.

But in the picture you can see what is going on;
- Or I only see a part of the layer properties manager that is approximately the height of the ribbon. But no other palettes.
- Or everything is displayed correctly with the exception of my palettes. These are not visible, even though the settings are correct here.
- Or my workspace is not displayed properly except for the location of my palettes. My layer and xref palettes should be on the left with the xref palette on the top, but often it is on the bottom.
- Or my workspace is displayed as it should. Everything is visible and is where everything should be.

My own workspace is current in all these different views. If I look at the wrong views in my CUI settings, all my palettes settings are correct. They should be visible on the left or right, they are locked and set to auto-hide.

In addition, it does not matter whether I create a new drawing, open an existing drawing via AutoCad or open an existing drawing from Windows.

Who can tell me where the problem lies?

Thank you

Just a maybe, make sure you force a save workspace say your name, turn off the autosave option, always force a save when you make changes.

Hello Sea-Haven,
I saved my workspace under my own name. The system variable of WSAUTOSAVE is set to 0/off.
If I change something in my workspace, I overwrite my current workspace. This so that next to the standard AutoCad workspaces (drafting..., 3D modeling and 3D basic) I only see my own name and not a whole series of workspaces.
