I am currently trying to install and run the Dropbox windows desktop app first.
It "appears" Drop box has installed on my windows 7 computer.
It went through the install process (downloading, installing), then the install dialog box automatically closes, it then opened a web page about the mobile app, then it opened a larger dialog box about syncing files/folders that I checked off the folder I wanted sync'd.
And Finally I got a "Well Done Drop Box installed" Dialog.
The DB icon is on the windows start menu.
BUT when I try to launch DB from the windows start menu, I get an hour glass for ~5 seconds then nothing. (hour glass disappears)
I went into the windows folder "Program files (x86)/Dropbox/Client and double clicked the dropbox application icon and same result.
What is my next step in trying to get Dropbox to open on my desktop?
I have turned off my VPN, I have turned off windows defender, I have turned off windows firewall, I have turned off Malwarebytes.
