Dropbox App not starting on Win 10 after v197.4.7629 win icons update - permissions error?
Hi, my Dropbox app stopped working today after booting my X1 (Win 10 with latest updates) and updating the Dropbox app manually because it asked to get updated to show me the new symbols in the Win 10 explorer. Did the same update a day ago on my PC with 0 issues.
After the update I got an error message, that dropbox can't start, with a link to the permissions_error page and a log file.
Reinstalling. rebooting did not help. Permissions fix inside dropbox app is not possible, as I can't access my profile within the app - its not loading that far, stops at "loading accounts".
This is a part of the error log:

Hey @stellan0r
We are investigating into this issue, can you try uninstall dropbox and reinstall it again? If the same prompted update shows up again, you can skip for now, let us know if issue still persists.

Hey stellan0r, let's jump right into this!
It seems this isn't the entire error log.
In order for us to further investigate, can you send me the full error message, please?
You can obtain the full text of the error by clicking on the blue link within the error message pop-up. This will open a file with the full text of the error.
Let me know more, and we'll take it from there!
Sure Megan!
