After uninstalling Dropbox Dash, I get the error "A JavaScript error occurred in the main process"
hi mike,
I encountered similar startup error message after uninstalling dropbox dash (as printscreen). kindly advise if there's a fix, thanks 🙂
Hi liyi,
It's possible that there's a background process still running. Since you've disabled Dash as a startup app, try restarting and attempting the deletion again.
Alternatively, you can open Task Manager and look for a Dropbox Dash process running that you can end, then attempt the deletion again.
If this doesn't work, let us know and we can reach out via email to take a deeper look.
Thanks,
Ben

Hi liyi, thanks for bringing this to our attention.
I've moved your post to another thread as it was unrelated to Dropbox Capture.
What is the exact version of Windows that you're running?
Could you let me know the steps you're taking in order to get this error message?
This will help me to assist further!
thanks Jay!
i'm on windows 11 pro (version 23h2).
dash was downloaded and installed from official site last week, and uninstalled via the Control Panel\Programs\Programs and Features.
this error window pops up in every startup later on.
please let me know if you need more info. thanks!

Thanks for the information. Could you try the following to resolve this behavior?
- Search for and open "Startup Apps" from Windows Search or Apps > Startup in the control panel.
- Find Dropbox Dash in the list and turn it OFF
To finish removing Dash, if you click on the Open Folder button next to the toggle (from the above instructions), it will take you to the install location:
- Go up one folder level to Programs
- Select Dropbox Dash and delete it
Let me know how it goes!
