Clicking on dropbox system tray icon does nothing.

I have windows 11 and some time within the last month or two I am unable to get the system tray icon to do anything.  If I hover my mouse over the icon it shows the version and that I'm "up to date"....

    My Win11 updated last night. The package name is:

    Cumulative Update for Windows 11 Insider Preview (10.0.22623.1020) (KB5020035)

     

    The left or right click can show the dropbox main window right now, but it's not attached to the system tray. It pops up on the top left corner. ≡(▔﹏▔)≡

    Whatever, it works at least. ( •̀ ω •́ )✧

Hey fftempest, sorry to jump in here, but could you install our latest version of the desktop app found in this page and let us know if this persists?

    I installed version 161.4.4923 and have the same symptoms.  Is there any cache that I can clear?

      Hey fftempest, it might sound trivial, but have you tried restarting your device recently?

        Yes, I've rebooted many times.  I always make sure to reboot after installing a new version.
