My Dropbox app won't open on Windows 11; the Dropbox icon no longer shows in the system tray.

A few days ago, I logged out of Dropbox on my computer, and now I can't open the application anymore. There's no icon in the system tray, and clicking on the Dropbox application on my computer does nothing. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling it, but it still doesn't work. My computer is running Windows 11.
