And I was left asking many questions about what exactly dropbox is doing over the last several updates vs what its original purpose of syncing files in a specific folder. Dropbox did seem to exasperate the situation. While I now see that dropbox may not have been the root cause. A google search of the correct terms revealed that other people were having similar problems (all computer programs seemed to be significantly lagging in loading/normal operations when switched to battery). When the laptop switches from AC to battery, it would also slow down considerably. It turns out that there may have been another culprit. What are you installing on people's computer? These apps installers have like 20-40MB full offline installer. And use a more file-explorer-style syncing (which is what I use dropbox for anyways) and explore apps like CloudMounter, duplicati, goodsync, oDrive, etc. So in short, I decided to keep Dropbox uninstalled for the moment so my computer can remain fast. It is possible that something in the AppData Dropbox folder got corrupted.but why should that cause my entire computer to slow down? What is Dropbox app doing that would cause it to have so much of an effect on my entire OS? Previously I was using Dropbox 17x or maybe it was 16x I don't remember exactly When I started reinstalling apps, the problem returned immediately after installing Dropbox 1. The slowdown was so bad, that I had to reinstall Windows OS to get things to return to normal. Now the CPU and the RAM usage of dropbox was fairly normal, which made this problem difficult to detect. Some apps that loaded in 2-10 seconds taking 50-200 seconds to load. So you had Start menu/search bar taking 3-5 seconds to load (used to be instant). Or some corruption of the display driver. I thought it could be a fan problem (overheating). My computer is normally very fast, as I rarely install programs that have no business being there Now I am using Win10 LTSC 2021 on Nvme drive with laptop intel u8265, 16GB RAM on-board. (I only have about 10-20 files to backup sync, not more than 300MB) But 3 weeks ago or so I noticed all my computer apps, file explorer, and even the Start Menu becoming less responsive. I use dropbox only for a few min each day. ![]()
