Hi there,

I've been using Box for quite a while, and suddenly this started happening.  I've noticed several others are having the same issue.

In case this helps, I found the win32api.pyd file in C:\Program Files\Box\Box.  Last date modified 11/16/2024.

I also ran sfc /scannow, and it found no integrity violations
