Dropbox won't start on my Windows 10 computer
I noticed that the dropbox icon was not in my apps tray, so I tried to start it manually, clicking the icon on my desktop. Nothing happens - win 10 task manager shows that it starts, but the program ...

Remove all references to Dropbox in the registry. Remove any .exe references etc. to Dropbox. Restart computer.
Try a reinstall from www.dropbox.com/downloading

Hi Team
I have had this same issue twice now and I have to say that it is really starting to bug the heck out of me. I have no issues with my other cloud storage programme, none and never. Only Dropbox. I think the level of support has something to be desired as well, I feel that there isn't a solution that just corrects this permanently. My Dropbox has been starting (that's it) for about 2 weeks, it only happened when I decided to resync a larger folder. Up until that point, I was doing a folder at a time to avoid this issue. If Dropbox can't handle large volumes of syncing, what is the point of even having it? Almost over it, sick of uninstalling and reinstalling, thinking that I might just upgrade my Google Drive where I have no issues.

Hi oraco,
Although I don't read a question, I want to advise you to get in touch with Dropbox Support. They helped me well, after 5 days of trial and error, everything runs perfectly again. Good luck!
