How do I prevent DropBox Update from booting on Windows (10 Pro) startup?

I've tried everything (see screenshots below spoilertag), but it will still boot, and I have to kill it manually every time I reboot my laptop. This is bordering on malware.

Hey @Auntie1982!. Thqanks for adding up to this thread. 

You may not be able to uninstall the Dropbox application, in case it was installed by the administrator account of your computer.

Was the Dropbox desktop application installed on the admin user of this device? Did you receive any error messages when trying to uninstall?
