Re: Dropbox desktop app causes an "Event 3033" at every startup on my Windows computer

Hannah​ thanks for passing the comments on.

I just wanted to confirm that uninstalling the standard desktop Dropbox program, and installing the Microsoft Store version DID fix this issue, both on my Windows 10 laptop, and my Windows 11 Desktop PC.

So thanks for pointing that out, it IS a viable solution.
