Hi
After installing Dropbox (Dropbox 58.4.92 Offline Installer) and launching it I am stuck with a blank 'Set Up Dropbox' screen, unable to provide credentials. Main screen says 'Waiting to be linked to Dropbox account'. This is a new Dropbox install on a new Windows 10 laptop.
After skimming through forums and this ressource I have made sure of the following : No proxies installed, Defender firewall turned off, no virus scan or anti virus active, Malwarebytes turned off, ISP router firewall turned off.
I am at a loss hoping someone can help me.
Thanks a million!

Hello Jane
So far I have uninstalled DropBox, Shut Down the PC, restarted PC and reinstalled DropBox using the offline installer link you provided. Antivirus was disabled during this reinstallation process.
Reinstall completed successfully and the "Set Up Dropbox" dialog window appeared, but it is corrupted (either shows as black or contains other artifacts).
I have tried minimizing the window and then showing it again but it is still corrupted so the username/password/sign-in buttons cannot be seen.
I have tried the sign-in procedure both on my work Internet connection and my home Internet connection.

Hello Jane
Just a quick update, I have managed to sign-in to DropBox by guessing my way through the sign-in screen (which I cannot actually see due to being either black or otherwise corrupted). I referred to the same screens on another working computer to help.
It at least shows that it is just the graphical elements which are at issue, rather than the actual functionality.
Perhaps this will help with producing a fix.
Also please note that I tried resetting the IE browser so see if that would help with the graphics issue, as this did resolve a similar issue with Skype sign-in in the past. Alas, it did not resolve he issue with DropBox.
