I tried a reinstall, and the internet was still dropping out afterwards. I also tried restoring windows to a previous version before the update to Windows 10, verison 1709. So now I am on Win10 v1703 and everything seems back to normal... Now I just need to avoid hitting the "Shutdown and restart" button xD
Yay windows...

My Internet speed went to virtually dead. I worked with my Internet provider. They sent a new modem. Then got a new router. Then reset Windows - the Internet came back alive. I loaded all my software and it went dead again. The IT guy said - get a new computer. Got a new computer and the DSL speed was 20. I loaded software and it crashed again. I assumed it was Norton and deleted it. Still bad. I finally uninstalled Dropbox and now I'm flying again. Dropbox cost me hundreds! Not happy. Refund would be a start...
For the past several weeks, whenever I upload files through the desktop app (both the app and my Dropbox folder are installed on a HDD), I get heavy stutters (video and audio) until the upload is done. Most of the time this also crashes the internet connection on my PC (upon checking, it's the IPv4 and IPv6 that get crashed) and the only solution I've found so far is to restart. It's gotten really annoying, is there a fix? Is it an issue with the Dropbox app or my hardware?

I have the very same issue. Bought a new PC to use as the company server - all it needs to do is hold data & have it accessed by a handfull of other PC's on the network. Installed Dropbox as that is what we use as the offsite back up.
The network & internet connection drops within seconds of dropbox starting.
Have managed to narrow this down to uploads only. Can download at any speed I want. But uploads over about 50Mbs crash the connection.
I then have to reset the ethernet adapter. Even a computer restart is not sufficient.
Not sure if this is a windows or a dropbox issue or both.
But this is not workable. If some kind of patch is not available by next week it is going to have to be goodbye to dropbox and hello google cloud. (That works fine and does not stop the connection)
Apologies for the typo: "uploads over about 50Mbs" should have read "uploads over about 50KB/s"
