Trying to add toolbars in Windows Explorer: they are greyed out

I am trying to add toolbars in Windows Explorer. However, they are greyed out:

Unchecking Lock the toolbars doesn't help:

How can I make then selectable again?

I use Windows 7 SP1 x64 Ultimate.

I run gpedit.msc the run window:

and went to User Configuration->Administrative Template->Start Menu and Taskbar. According to it, users are not prevented from adding toolbars:

Explicitly disabling Prevent users from acting on removing toolbars and rebooting the computer didn't help.

Maybe there is some registry keys that turn on/off the capacity of adding toolbars?

Have you tried implicitly enabling it? – Ramhound – 2017-11-04T21:59:32.517

There's this 3rd option: Lock the toolbars. Have you tried unlocking it, then trying to enable one? ;) – LPChip – 2017-11-04T22:20:19.983

@LPChip good point, I have just tried though and it didn't help. – Franck Dernoncourt – 2017-11-04T22:21:09.380

@Ramhound Sounds good, I'll try next time I reboot the computer. – Franck Dernoncourt – 2017-11-04T22:22:21.623

Force a group policy update through the command – Ramhound – 2017-11-04T23:40:21.600
