Re: DROPBOX DOES NOT START UP AUTOMATICALY ON W7

DROPBOX DOES NOT START UP AUTOMATICALLY ON W7

HI, Dropbox is not starting automaticaly as i turn on my computer in windows 7. 

Now i need to double click the icon (run as Administrator) on the Desktop and it start syncronizing. 

I ve checked and Dropbox is set up in windows to run in Start Up but that is not really happening.

I guess "Run as Administrator" icon is what is not allowing Dropbox to start automatically on startup.

 

Does anyone has the same issue?

 

Thanks

Rgds

Hi @Jcorsu, is it possible that you've changed the UAC settings on Windows 7, which might affect the app from loading? Could you try returning it to the normal setting?

Thanks, try setting it to the position above, the - - area which is darker, click accept, and then reboot your machine.
