Since it is only VA, and since there are both startup andf shutdown 
problems, i suspect Jeremy may have identified a likely mechanism in 
an earlier post - i.e. because the shutdown isn't clean, the first 
double-click starts up VA, which cleans up and closes, allowing the 
second double-click to start up a functional copy.

If this is the case, then double-click, wait a few seconds, 
double-click again, should also work.

Then the issue is finding out why the shutdown isn't working. That 
could be down to something started during !Boot which fails to 
complete. Attempting to manually quit everything shown by task manager 
could help identify the culprit.
