Stupid screen overlay detected error

In a Galaxy S5 and with this error staying on even turning off all (even system) apps off in the 'app that can overlay screens'. Same thing with 'clear cache'.

The solution: I think will work for any phone is to boot in safe mode. Here all 3rd party apps appear as 'greyed out' (like not installed). But then you can go through 'Settings -> Apps -> each of them' and review their Permissions, where you can accept them (each app will show what permissions required). This will make all your 3rd party apps updated with the correct permission.
Note, before you go into safe mode, reset all 'apps that can overlay screen'. Because if you do this after the 'safe mode task' your phone will put again your problematic app without the required permissions.
