Dropbox fails to start with Windows 10

Dropbox doesn't start at startup in Windows 10.  Tried reboot. No luck.  It's been doing thos for some time and sometimes it does start. But not the last couple of days.    Not listed in services...

    This was happening to me, but I finally found a solution after trying removing and reinstalling, and starting as administrator, neither of which worked.

    In Win10 I went to Windows' "Startup Apps" setting, and lo and behold DropBox was set to "off". I set it to "on", and all is well.

Yes. This happens to me. Support responded me saying that there was nothing they could do and cancelled my subscription. For some reason I uninstalled Dropbox yesterday all over and started over. Worked again. I had to pause the sync for half a day and when I started again, same problem. The crashing.
