Dropbox shows 'up to date' , but many files and folders still show blue circular arrow in Explorer

On one of my PCs, which is the only one on Windows 11, files and folders still show the blue circular arrow as if they are syncing when Dropbox has said 'up to date' in the tray icon for a long while...

    Thank you, I fixed the issue using Walter's steps but slightly modified:

    Walter mentions that Dropbox's registry folders (in “HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE” > “SOFTWARE” > “Microsoft” > “Windows” > “CurrentVersion” > “Explorer” > “ShellIconOverlayIdentifiers) need to be within the first 15 entries alphabetically, and to rename the Dropbox registry folders until they are within said top 15.
    Mine were already in the top 15, but I bumped them up to the very top Alphabetically anyways by renaming all registry folders above them (see attached picture, I renamed the Asus Shell Extension folders to appear at the bottom of the list).

    After rebooting, this fixed the issue.
