Slow sync issue after updating the desktop app to v210.4.4854.
Ive got an issue with the upgrade. Anyone else have the same problem? Slow in sync, VERY slow in making the connection and very useless box that DOES NOT tell me which files it does'nt not recognize....

There isn't a solution. The sync is slow and incomplete files are not shown on any screen, even if you have the ORIGINAL file (and you can see it) on an external drive. I will have to either seek a new computer OR find another provider.
I now have 212.4.5767

Sorry to hear about this, Road_warrior.
Can you let us know what your computer's OS and version is?
Have you restarted your computer ever since this started happening?
And can you please also send us a screenshot of that box you're referring to?
Thanks in advance.

What is taking up all that CPU time? Sort by CPU and it should put the CU heavy tasks at the top of the window.

CPU issues are:
Tray Assistant 25% to 65%
Antimalware Service Executable 35% to 45%
Microsoft Software Protection Service 25% to 40%
Threat Protection Service 15%
I have now set Window Threat Protection to only once a day so Tray Protection is now about 65%
