Dropbox Desktop App crashing on Windows 8
I have several users who are noticing that their Dropbox App completely crashes on Windows 8 and they are off line. We have tried to restart the app and nothing happens. Only solution is to reinstall dropbox on top of itself. I have performed this several times, but today I had a user that required this step again (3 hours after the first reinstall) we have several hundred gigs of data on each users machine, so wiping and reinstalling is a last stop for us.
Any suggestions to what is causing this?
Hi Mike R. we checked your error logs and it looks like Dropbox on your machine might be running into a bug that was fixed in later builds - can you try the newer build at https://www.dropboxforum.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/203362409-Experimental-Build-3-9-31 and let us know if that works for you?

Hi Mike and Marius,
Did the crashing only start after updating to version 3.8.5?

Hi all
No. I tried to solve it upgrading at 3.8.5 but it didn't work.
Sorry, I don't remember the other but for sure it was previous to 3.8.x (maybe 3.6.?)
I started to have problems one week ago (more or less), maybe windows updates?

p.s.
(dropbox service still alive, syncronising)
i have some data from the windows event viewer:

</Event>The experimental build does not crash and close but it does get stuck on "connecting" as frequently as the other version crashed. Can I run and debugs to dig deeper? I have also updated to Windows 10 to see if that would help but no luck there.
I have just built a new PC with Windows10. With only the OS on it was sitting quite happily, I then installed dropbox and started syncing and after a few minutes it crashed my PC. On restart it lasted even less time and crashed again. Is there an issue with Dropbox and Windows 10?
Thank you.
Richard, I am running the experimental build on Windows 10 and it does not crash Windows but it does hang on "connecting". The problem you are reporting sounds more like a driver issue. If you close Dropbox completely, does it still crash?
