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!

Thanks for having another look at this. It is obviously an issue that arises out of the combination of Windows and Dropbox running. You might be right that this is an issue that Dropbox cannot fix. But at least you have much more powerful channels to get in touch with Microsoft and have them fix this than a normal user has. So I would suggest that someone at Dropbox can get in touch with Microsoft and find a solution to this.
