Hi lazman, thanks for bringing this to our attention.

 

Are you using a personal machine or a company-managed device?

 

Do you have higher than normal UAC settings on your machine?

 

This will help me to assist further!

I'm running Windows 10 but the same thing keeps happening to me. Two blinking Dropbox Update icons appear on my taskbar. Regardless of whether I click on Yes or No, a few days later the popups appear again. And when I clicked Yes, it didn't appear that any updating was performed.
