I installed from your link but unfortunately now I can't tell if there is a new installation of dropbox as the only thing showing is the taskbar and system tray icon which might the the old that i already had there. Should I uninstall and try again?
THANK YOU

Is it possible the Dropbox icon is being hidden in the Windows 10 system tray? You can check by using these steps and to unhide the Dropbox icon permanently.

Not hidden, not there BUT
When I choose which icons should show on the taskbar Dropbox is checked on

In the Dropbox desktop application preferences, is this setting enabled to have it start when the computer is booted?

In my desktop Startup Apps, Dropbox is checked
But
If I try to find the Settings in the General Tab....
I can't.
I can right-click the dropbox app, select Preferences, go to the General Tab but that does not provide any reference to start dropbox on system startup nor any Account tab
I'm sure I'm being DENSE and I hate taking up so much of your time.
I no longer have any dropbox in my taskbar
I can slide dropbox shortcut into the task bar, I have to click on that, it doesn't open anything but it puts the dropbox in the taskbar
That's going to have to be as elegant a solution as I can find 😉
