Truly stop Dropbox client from starting automatically on Windows 10.
This is happening to me on Windows 10 Pro 64-bit. When I first installed Dropbox 3.14.7 I thought it it was well-behaved, because it offered an option to disabled "Start Dropbox on system startup". B...
To truly prevent Dropbox from changing the autoplay settings (in Windows 10):
- Close Dropbox;
- Open Regedit and go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\AutoplayHandlers;

- Restart the PC.
Right now it is working for me, but as always YMMV!
The whole point of this post is that I have already disabled the "Start Dropbox on system startup", yet Dropbox still tries to do things when the system starts.
Did you only read the title of my post and ignore everything else I wrote?
