Can you explain why you need the above ad-deactivate?

And why do you start sr-speedbar from window-setup-hook?

> I notice that with that init file, now Emacs starts with a double scratch buffer (one in text window and one in sr-speedbar window) and minibuffer contains "Opening directory: No such file or directory, c:/msys2/tmp/emacs-master/src/". Indeed I removed the directory: c:/msys2/tmp/emacs-master. It is the directory where the Emacs source is expanded (I use the emacs-master.tar.gz from git repo).

I think this is because the sr-speedbar window is a dedicated window,
so Emacs cannot switch to *scratch* in that window.  Removing
sr-speedbar invocation from window-setup-hook will probably fix that.
