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?

    Hi there Kerry4, thanks for flagging this with us.

     

    Could you please send us a screenshot of the app's status and version as shown in your taskbar? 

     

    Did you try reinstalling it recently perhaps?

     

    Any additional information is more than welcome!
