Event Viewer error: CertFindCertificateInStore failed with: (-2146885628) Cannot find object or prop
Everyday when booting up I get 5-7 dropbox errors above in Event Viewer. CertFindCertificateInStore failed with: (-2146885628) Cannot find object or property. Bbx version 192.1.4605 OS ...
I am a part of a 3 person company using Business dropbox, 5TB box.. I accept your explanation. Thanks
I see it as far back as 2/7/23. That's as far as my event viewer log goes. Dropbox is not always available when I boot up. No Syncing problems on my end, but 1 other user seems to have syncing stall every few days. But that is always cleared up by rebooting.

Dropbox StaffHi Jimbo_Simon, the file dbxsvc.exe is a component that we use as part of the Dropbox Sync Experience. Should you not be a team user, or not sync online-only files, then this file will never start operating. It is, however, created at install for all users regardless of whether you are opted in.
Please note that the issue you are experiencing is technically the volume of times it is writing to the error log, rather than any issue indicated by the process's presence in that error log. In short, due to the way Microsoft categorizes something as report-worthy, we would expect the process to be mentioned in that log 3 times every 24 hours. We want to reassure you that everything is working properly and that doesn't indicate a fault.
With that in mind, we understand that you may not wish to see this behavior and apologize if these entries were concerning to you. We would not recommend attempting to disable dbxsvc.exe. Please note that updating the desktop application or re-installing it will also attempt to re-add this process.
