"Pause Sync" does not automatically restart on my Windows device.

Absolutely not.

I already played guinea-pig spending hours doing reinstallations, running tests, and generating log files intermixed with emails back-and-forth to support to document the issue. I am not wasting more time (as it will take at least a few hours for a reinstalled Dropbox to "reindex") reinstalling a version which is already not working for multiple people (all reported in this thread in the last hour) just to show that the so-called fix does not actually work. 

Hi Michael R.100, currently, the latest stable build is 240.4.8493, so there isn't a newer version out as yet.

Could you try reinstalling the Dropbox desktop application, without uninstalling it first, by using this link?

I also just tested it with 240.4.8493 and the issue does NOT appear to be fixed, at least for that version. Is there a newer update (stable version) that has not been pushed out yet?

Hi, I am seeing this too, on 240.4.8493 (Windows 11 x64)

Not fixed as of version 241.3.4691

This seems to have resolved itself on my login the following day.  If there is an explanation for the anomaly, it would be most useful.  Thanks.

This morning, I had paused syncing until 8am GMT and now I can not restart syncing at all as the menu options are for pausing syncing and not restarting syncing as per the image below

I tried to exit dropbox and restart but that made no difference.  I also tried to change the time to pause syncing for to no avail but when I changed the time to 30 minutes (even though the display said it was paused), restarted dropbox the time duration for which it was paused changed (originally 8am before the exit and as shown above now 00:03).  I am on version 240.4.8493 and on Windows 10 pro.  Could it be a windows 10 issue?

Is there any way to setup upgrades so that beta versions are not installed please?  I am not a fan of automatic upgrades for this reason and certainly don't want non stable versions installed without my knowledge/permission.

I always pause syncing during the day and restart at night before logging off so this is very important functionality for me so I would appreciate any help and resolution.

Another annoying feature I've noticed is that when syncing is paused, you have to click on the down arrow to show the menu whereas in the past you could click anywhere from the pause button to the down arrow (including the syncing paused phrase as underlined in the above image)

Thanks very much

Sorry to hijack another thread. I was hoping that OP solved his problem.

The issue has been happening for the past month or two once Dropbox updated the UI to the more modern version. I don't recall the version number, unfortunately.  However, I have tried uninstalling/reinstalling the application and it doesn't work.

The one "clue" that I discovered in my troubleshooting is that if I  "pause until tomorrow", the app will automatically resume late in the afternoon on its own instead of at 8:00am, like the notification says. This makes me think it's a timezone issue.  I suspect Dropbox might always use UTC instead of my local timezone when determining when to resume syncing.

I should also add that I found the problem on multiple computers, so its not unique to a particular configuration on one machine.
