Hi indyduke77! Hope you’re doing well.
Can you send me a screenshot of any errors you’re getting at the moment? Are you still seeing the dbxsvc error after the reinstall?
Also, can you clarify what’s the OS version of your computer, as well as the Dropbox app version on it?
Keep me posted for more updates.

Hi indyduke77, are you certain that the first error is related to Dropbox?
If you uninstall the app and load Windows, does the error occur again?

Hi again, indyduke77! As per the dbxsvc error you’re receiving, please note that 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.
The issue you’re 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. So, based on that, everything seems to be working properly and that doesn't indicate a fault.
If you’re still receiving the "force bad driver tray window” error though, please try to take one more screenshot of it, and attach it to this thread.
