It seems you're using the Beta version of our app, which could be causing a higher usage of CPU.
Go into your account settings on the Dropbox website and turn Early releases off.
After that, install one of the stable builds of the Dropbox application.
Also starts again immediately using 98+% again of the CPU after reinstalling Windows 10 OS.

Dropbox StaffHey jpworkman & StevenTillson02! I hope you're doing well!
Can you let me know your desktop app's syncing status?
Also, what version do you use? It should show something like: xxx.4.xxx or xxx.3.xxx
Keep me posted, and we'll take it from there.
My Sync Status is 'Up to Date' with a green check mark.
v123.3.4825

Go into your account settings on the Dropbox website and turn Early releases off.
After that, install one of the stable builds of the Dropbox application.I did the following:
1) Turned off Early Releases on dropbox.com
2) Logged out of my DB account on the desktop app
3) Uninstalled and deleted the app
4) Restarted the computer
5) Downloaded and installed the latest (non-beta) version of the Dropbox App (v.125.4.3474)
6) Logged into my accounts and turned on SmartSync (local only)
7) Waited for everything to sync and the DB Desktop app to show is 'Up to Date' with green check box
Everything now seemed to be fixed!! Thank you!
