Issue starting the Dropbox desktop app from a bat file on Win 11
Hello --- I use a bat file to start dropbox on win 11 --- I discovered this issue with the beta version so I reverted to the stable. I reported this issue to support. So now stable version 238.4.6075 comes online and the issue resurfaced
From the screen shot, it seems that when dropbox starts, it executes javascript and rust code which generates error messages to the command screen --- has anyone seen this issue? this issue is on all my windows computers

Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this Frank P E.
I've passed your feedback on, but also note that you can post your feature requests in our Ideas section following these tips as well.
I store my dropbox files on an encrypted drive for security, and therefore want to wait to start Dropbox until after the drive is available, which requires inputting a password.
It does seem to start normally when started manually

Hey TNunan!
Since the app starts without an issue when you try to manually access it, then there's not much that we can suggest. That is because launching the app directly from the bat file isn't fully supported by Dropbox.
In any case we'll leave the thread open to the Community, and welcome any other user that has a suggestion about this.
If you need something else, please let me know and I will be more than happy to help every step of the way.
