marcionitao thank you for the reply.
 
 I have tried your suggestion but it makes no difference. Yes Dropbox was ticked as ON. I toggled to off then ON again. I even tried enablind and disabling all tray icons. Works for all apps exept dropbox.
Lates I have tried the following:
 
 
removed dropbox, run CCcleaner, del temp files, disabled Win10 defender and firewall, logged in as differnet local user, downloaded and installed latest non beta offline installer. Install completed, screen flickers and then no Dropbox in tray. Dropbox service is running in task manager. Best of all - support from Dropbox is non existent. What a waste of money!
