Hi there,

I'm constantly fighting with the context menu slowness if Dopus doesn't block the "cross.device" Windows App; this happens with OneDrive synced folders only.

The problem is that, I suppose, every time Windows updates this app, Dopus loses the block reference:

Is there any option to block it once for all?

I'm on latest Win11 24H2 and Dopus 13.11.

Thanks.

Click the hamburger menu and choose **Add item to block list** , and then enter the wildcard pattern `MicrosoftWindows.CrossDevice*` and click OK. This should block all future versions automatically.
