Thanks for giving that a go, Nuber Lone! One more thing I want to ask you, to have a clearer image of the issue, is whether you click on anything that’s Dropbox-related when launching your computer (like the Dropbox icon in your system tray, for example), right before the Dropbox folder opens in your File Explorer.

Up until now, they haven't fixed that issue.
