The Dropbox app is not launching. "Dropbox has unexpectedly quit." error.
"I'm using Windows 10 Pro and since late August, I've been getting a message saying, "Dropbox has unexpectedly quit. Please restart." When I uninstall and reinstall the Dropbox app, it works fine until I reboot my PC. After rebooting, the message appears again and the app doesn't start or sync. Dropbox stops working after every reboot."

Hello H. Hanyang
Maybe I can help with this. Could you please send a screenshot of the error message "Dropbox has unexpectedly quit" to see how it looks visually? That could be a helpful indicator of what to do next.
Thanks,

I'm Korean. The error message is also in Korean. I've attached a screenshot.

The error message means the following

Your files are secure. Please restart Dropbox to resume syncing and other functions. - Nancy2 years ago

H. Hanyang, regarding your previous post, keep in mind that Walterโs previous suggestion to set up a new user profile on your computer with admin rights is purely for troubleshooting reasons and we donโt expect you to have a separate profile to run the Dropbox app.
If you try this step though and it doesnโt help or if you canโt test this, let us know and weโll further assist.

Thank you for the details H. Hanyang. That is helpful because it means that Dropbox is crashing internally due to a known reason, as opposed to an external startup crash. I can help with further troubleshooting this for you or Dropbox support could assist you if you open a ticket.

I noticed the moderators removed part of my post โdue to Community Guidelinesโ. Moderators, I genuinely want to understand what specific community guidelines were enforced here, since I just posted an offer to help free of charge, no strings attached, nothing promotional or commercial.

It works during indexing and shuts down the program when synchronization starts.
