I had the same problem and didnât really want to have to re-install.
âOpen Dropbox upon startupâ was enabled but it wouldnât start unless I opened it manually however I did fix it without having to re-install:

- Restarted the computer and turned âOpen Dropbox upon startupâ back on.
- Shut down and restarted the computer and it launched like it should without me having to do it manually.
- Shut down and restarted a couple more times and it has launched every time.

Hannah, I just got a new laptop today and downloaded the app for desktop through the windows store. I get the icon on my toolbar but nothing happens when I click on it.
