12 Dropbox startup instances on Windows 11 device - takes forever to startup
My Windows 11 shows 12 instances of Dropbox in the startup! Which obviously takes forever to start up
What is going on and how to fix?

Is it possible to end all these instances, Kerry4, and then relaunch the Dropbox app, to see if that helps?

I can't disable all the 12 instances

We do have a new version of the app out now, Kerry, can you update to that, to see if the issue persists?
If it does, you can also quit the app and restart it, or disable the app on startup, restart the computer and then manually launch the app, to test the behavior, please.
