    Hi,

     

    Thanks for your help. I had no idea I was using a beta version. But, last night I was just poking around and I clicked on Troubleshoot Compatibility on the program file. The troubleshooter changed the compatibility to Windows 8, and now everything works great. Except searching withing Explorer but that's in every folder.

Same problem, my Windows 10 File Manager freezes when clicking to open Dpbx files in my local disk. Other local Files justo open fine.  Assume started after last Windows 10 update. 

Not using Dpbx Beta

Any identified issue and/or solution ??

This app has more bugs than Minnesota in July.

Help!
