     Hey AntennaMan!

    Thanks for following up with us!

    It looks like this is not a Dropbox specific issue, and it's appearing with other cloud programs as well.

    Now, it'd be wise to note, that since this isn't an issue caused by Dropbox or pertaining just to us, we're not able to provide a precise solution.

    I'd definitely suggest checking in with Microsoft about this, as well just to make sure you've exhausted all options and to also let them know about this. 

    Give me a nudge if you have any other questions!

As people have stated, old issue been happening for a few years, happens daily still today.

I can help out too if your devs still would like more input.

(I am also interested if you think I could be of help testing early 64-bit Win10 app or fixes for better throttle of CPU usage and Drive read/write use which still bottleneck my machines either at startup or throughout workdays.)

 

I have a Dropbox Pro subscription.

 

Specs:

Laptop: Asus F555L Windows 10 Home 64-bit (10.0, Build 19041)

Dropbox 112.4.321

At home media workstation desktop PC Windows 10 Pro/Corp 64-bit1, probably latest Dropbox there too.

 

I do media work (Photoshop, blender...) and usually have a budget laptop and a fast enough last-gen desktop PC but rarely present-gen or next-gen specs (so i3/i5 or older i7, 8/24GB RAM, SSD on PCI, 100/10 home broadband on wifi).

 

I also use the android dropbox app.

 

Thanks for still looking into this issue, Daphne and colleagues!
