Dropbox Community ModeratorHey waac - thanks for posting on our Community and sharing your walk-around this issue.
I appreciate your detailed report, but could you clarify the version of the desktop app showing this behavior as well?
Does this happen with the latest, stable version found here?
Also, have you checked if this is caused by any third party apps, such as antivirus programs or firewalls etc?
Keep us posted!

I am using the latest version, just downloaded it yesterday. 139.4.4896.
I do not know if Dropbox versions have changed since we upgraded Windows to 10 pro. But I have been trying with the "latest version at the time" for the last 6 months or more. Each version would be respective to the month I tried again....and again...etc.

Yes, as I stated in my original post, we walked through all of those things because that is what I first suspected. I thought it was the antivirus for sure. I cannot uninstall it because it is a corp. machine. But I disabled it completely. Then we asked out Network team if that could still be the cause and they said no. And they gave us several tests to walk though to prove it which I did successfully. I also though it could be the firewall. It was not the firewall. The problem only exists if I run it without compatibility mode turned on for the .exe. However, the moment I put it in compatibility for Win 7, the issue disappears and all is well. Performed it on two devices in our network. Several others have the same issue and I am glad to tell them how I was able to get it working for me.
