Hi there Sir_Caramel and welcome back to the Dropbox Community. I’m really glad to hear you managed to get the app up and running again and thank you for taking the time to come back and share that update. It’s super helpful for others who might run into the same issue on Windows 11.

Looking forward to hearing more,
