Drop Box freezing windows 10

[binary]

CC Cleaner.
But I understand it is more to do with Trend Micro.

OK - will try on an affected machine.

Strange that one of the laptops is brand new and has only just had both Dropbox and Trend Micro WFBS installed. The registry should be clean.

Hi folks,

I just wanted to post here to acknowledge that we are looking into a possible conflict with Trend Micro. I'll reach out to a few of you via email with extra debugging steps. 

Many thanks for spotting the issue!

We are experiencing the same issue on all our computers with dp and trend micro. I would like to be kept up to date on a permanent solution. Currently we have disabled dp from startup and have the users start it manually.

The issue has been resolved by Trend Micro and we have confirmed that the Trend Micro fix worked and no longer have a freeze on start when Dropbox is set to run at startup as well. For reference, the Virus Pattern that contains the fix is 14.287.00.

Thanks to all of the users that reported this!

Unfortunately, this hasn't worked for us.  We have the issue on some machines (although not all) and for the affected PCs (my desktop included), the new patterns haven't solved it.

For information, I'm running pattern 14.295.00 ( updated 05/06/18 ) and Dropbox client v.51.3.65.  I set my client to autostart and it caused the PC to hang again, so I've now had to set it back to manual.

Hey @mikemor22 - strange it's working on some PCs but not all. Assuming they're all under the same settings, we might need our tech team to investigate this further for you. Can you log a ticket on https://dropbox.com/support with the existing info so they can help investigate further?

You may also wanna do the same with Trend Micro as the issue was on their end. If you find any additional info that would be helpful to the community, feel free to post here!

Thanks

This is also still happening for me.

I'm using virus pattern 14.309 with dropbox 51.4.66
