Windows 11 "Couldn't start Dropbox" error.
Dropbox has stopped working on my Windows 11 PC and as I have gone back to Basic I cannot of course speak to anyone to resolve this other than this community. I am prompted to send an error report to Dropbaox support but cannot find anyone to send it to which is a little frustrating, any clues for me out there please?
