Hi
Has anyone else experienced red icon badge showing as one unread notification even after all notifications read and then deleted. Can't seem to get rid of it no matter what I try. Thank you.
hello Nancy,
I have now been able to solve the problem. I had done a re-install before, but not the advanced method that Dropbox suggests. So, for example, I had not manually removed the name Dropbox from the registry. I have now followed those instructions correctly and the case now works fine and my laptop is very stable and Dropbox works fine.
Thank you for your response, greetings, Wim
This behavior just started with Dropbox on both of my Windows 11 machines today (Version: 23H2; Build: 22631.3593). None of the "fixes" work. See attached images.
This picture shows that the Dropbox setting is marked "Off"
And now it just went away. It was a "stuck notification". Apparently you have to read and dismiss notifications on every device that Dropbox is installed on. Live and learn. The little blue ball is gone but I can live with that.
