Windows device connect/disconnect sound every minute

I've had a recurring (nearly every minute) Windows device connect/disconnect sound since my desktop's last reboot, that I have traced back to the Dropbox client and a very long list of information events in the Event Viewer. They're all some variation of:

  • "Created Desktop AppX container..."
  • "Added process <pid number> to Desktop AppX container"
  • "Destroyed Desktop AppX container..."

Not sure why they're causing the notification sound every time, but I would like to be able to run the client without a constant stream of that sound, not to mention a split second of input interruption from keyboard/mouse input.

 

Any ideas?

    Hi evanskaufman, welcome to our Community! 

     

    As a first step, would you mind clarifying the exact OS you're using on your device? 

     

    Also, out of curiosity: if you quit our desktop app, do you notice the same behavior? Can you give this a go? 

     

    Update me with the results!

      I am using Windows 10 Pro 22H2, and it does stop when I quit Dropbox. It does not immediately recur after starting Dropbox again, but it does eventually start happening again.

        Hey evanskaufman - sorry to jump in here, but could you try installing the latest, stable version of the desktop app from this page and let us know if the issue persists?
