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.

I had the same problem on Win10, although everything was fine few weeks before. I don't know what happened.
I solved it without reinstalling Dropbox. What I did was to add Dropbox to the startup routine of the computer using this protocol:
https://www.wintips.org/how-to-add-a-program-at-windows-10-startup/
Simply type shell:startup in the command box. Then, instead of moving the program in the startup folder, just create a shortcut to the Dropbox program. For me it was: C:\Program Files (x86)\Dropbox\Client\Dropbox.exe
Restart your computer and see the magic happen! You should also see Dropbox among your startup apps in the task manager.
