    Hi Jane, thanks for your reply. I've simply turned off the selective sync feature and that has resolved the issue. If I have time, I'll turn it back on and see if the problem returns. 


    Thanks.

    I would like to update that the problem resolved on our side now and here is the steps taken.

    - Clean up the registry

    - Uninstall and Install back Dropbox

    - Uninstall and Install back Worry Free Business Security

    ------- Added Dropbox program files path in Approved List (just in case)

     

    Also device speed improved quite a bit. We did not reinstall the windows.

     

    Environment

    - Windows 10 Pro (64-bit)

    - Worry Free Business Security Services (Trend Micro)

     

    I hope it helps to someone.

    Thanks to all of the users that reported this!
