Hi!
Not that i know of. When i checked firewall settings i only saw one Dropbox, and it was not blocked.
Proxy and VPN settings is the same as fresh install, and never changed settings in Windows 10 regarding this.
Several other users on same network has it working.
They all use Windows11, so i updated to Windows 11 and it seems to work for now.
If it happens like before i will come back to this thread.
Thanks for fast response!

Hello!
Same issue as before. The computer has almost been running since the last time, only restarting for updates right before i leave the office. Today i got the errormessages as before, then tried another restart of the computer. It starts indexing on startup and seems to stop/freeze at the number above. I only have about 440GB of data (150 000 files) localy. Any suggestions to solve this long term?
