Windows 10: File Explorer freezes 30s when opening or right-click OneDrive or Dropbox folders

Hi all,I´m using Windows 10 Enterprise 22H2 19045.2965.Since a couple of days I´m having trouble every time I try to open, CTRL-C or right-click any folder or file that is synced via OneDrive or Dropbox. I´ll get the hourglass and nothing happens for 30s. After that the operation is executed successfully.It does not help, when I terminate the OneDrive or Dropbox client.It´s getting really annoying and my colleagues with similar setups do not have this issue.RegardsLars

OneDrive folders will not open in File Explorer

OneDrive folders (e.g. Documents, Pictures, etc.) will not open using File Explorer. File Explorer hangs. Folders and files using OneDrive app and OneDrive online work correctly. OneDrive folders do open correctly using a non-Microsoft file manager
(TreeSize Personal).

 

Duplicate Folders (OneDrive, Dropbox)

Is there a way to stop program folders from appearing more than one in file explorer? OneDrive and Dropbox appear in the navigation pane under Desktop and my user folder.
