    I had the same issue and found a workaround which works for me

     

    -> Open TaskManager

    -> Navigate to Startup

    -> Select Dropbox and push the mouse's right button for properties

    -> Got to the Table Compatibility

    -> Check the checkbox for "run this program as an administrator"

    -> Reboot your computer

    Dropbox wil run as administrator

     

    It solved the problem for me

Thanks for sharing the workaround. It seems really working for me too. Though I don't use autostart for dropbox but running the client via "Run as administrator" context menu did the trick for me too.

Nice to hear it works for you too.

Now the question remains why this workaround solves this problem!!
