I reinstalled the Dropbox App for Win 11 and now it won't open, even when run as Administrator

Last week Dropbox stop syncing my files.

I uninstalled the app and reinstalled the latest version.
Now, when I start Windows, it won't load in the start-up.

And, when I go to the menu and find the app it won't open,
even if I try and run as administrator.

Any ideas as to what I should do please?

    Hey The I., thanks for bringing this to our attention.

     

    Are you getting some kind of error message, when you try to open the Dropbox app? Or just nothing happens?

     

    Do you perhaps have more than 300K files in your Dropbox folder?

     

    Keep me posted and we'll go from there.
