Dropbox fails to start with Windows 10
Dropbox doesn't start at startup in Windows 10. Tried reboot. No luck. It's been doing thos for some time and sometimes it does start. But not the last couple of days. Not listed in services...
This was happening to me, but I finally found a solution after trying removing and reinstalling, and starting as administrator, neither of which worked.
In Win10 I went to Windows' "Startup Apps" setting, and lo and behold DropBox was set to "off". I set it to "on", and all is well.

Thank you occamman! Simply making sure Dropbox was enabled for StartUp in Win10 settings fixed the issue (without any reinstalling Dropbox). Simple!
Ahhh - that did the trick.
I have it enabled, windows is tring to load dreopbox, but dropbox does not load itself working, says that is starting and just cloese itself after a little while, there is no crash information or any other report about it and it is in two sepparate computers now.

There is not much to show on the picture, it only says starting, I have restarted computer, I have done shut down, I have deinstalled and installed dropbox multiple times. Deinstallation was done fully, removed everything. At my home computer it works perfectly, when I changed harddrive on my laptop and installed windows again, after that it does not work on it, I did not use my other PC for a long time and when I turned it on, it did all the updates and I installed the dropbox on it, it did not work, it loads, says starting and in some time later just dissapares and it is not showing on running programs either.
Great, thanks - that solved it for me!
I struggled with all of the above solutions but created my own.
Windows stopped showing DB as an app in any of its lists. My solution is to get the app back in the startup apps list, by pasting the shortcut to the app in the following location:C:\Users\*username*\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup
aka
%APPDATA%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup
This adds DB to the startup list, then you can enable it.
Hope this helps anyone stuck with this issues. Windows is always trying to shoulder competition out.
I Never think to look there. Gets me too often. THANKS!
Thanks for the tip, @occammam!!!
it was the same in my case, will wait a couple of days to see if it will now start normally every morning, when I boot up my machine.
if it does; many thanks to you!
Thankyou, Occaman!
