    So Dropbox support sorted it out. It was a beta version that had installed (I don't think I ever asked for beta but it was turned on in preferences). reinstalled stable version and all working 😊

Hi.

 

Windows Icon/ Settings/ Personalization/ Other system tray icons/ (turn on Dropbox)

 

You'll  see a new smaller Dropbox icon at the right part of the taskbar.  This icon will work.

 

You can delete the original taskbar icon.

Thanks for the reply but it’s always been able to launch from the system tray icons. What stopped working was launching it from the taskbar.

I know it sounds a little petty but launching from the system trade takes two clicks and launching from the taskbar only takes one click!
