    Hi SBering, welcome to our Community! 

     

    It sounds like the error message you're getting is a Windows related one. 

     

    Could you temporarily disable any antivirus or firewalls you may have running on your computer and try again? If you still get the same results, please send us a screenshot so that we can have a visual too.

     

    Also, have you tried to restart your device? 

     

    Keep me posted, and we'll take it from there!

      Hey TAnon, thanks for bringing this to our attention.

       

      Can you give us a bit more info on the errors you're getting with the newer versions?

       

      If you can even send us a screenshot, that would be really helpful.

       

      Thanks in advance!

    My dropbox on Win 11 somehow stopped auto updating. It's still 174.3.5762. I have another Win 10 PC and it's updated all right. I even tried to manually update but got error. How can I fix it?

      First of all disable your antivirus software, sometimes Antivirus software can interfere with Dropbox updates if it fails, you can uninstall and reinstall Dropbox. I think these steps must work
