Hi. Did this ever get resolved? I'm having the same issue
Hello Russel,
Yes !
A pretty simple solution fixed totally the mess, at least for me :
They asked me to uninstall it totally once more, then install it again from fresh (and after a reboot), and now for the important part : UNCHECK the windows update part.
Here's a copy of their message :
As a first step, I'd like you to opt out of the Windows update to see if that fixes the issue.
To opt out of the update:
Log out of the Dropbox desktop app.
Log back into the Dropbox desktop app.
Click Open Dropbox.
Make your selections on the onboarding screens.
When the setup is finished, click Advanced settings from the final screen.
Check the Opt out checkboxunder Dropbox for Windows updates.
Against all odds, it was enough to fix the whole curse and I instantly stopped eating my shoes and losing my hair.
Hopefully it will work for you too.
