Apps and Installations

Dropbox keeps corrupting my Windows 10 start menu after a few days. The symptom it creates is folders pinned to the start menu no longer close the start menu when clicked. The only solution to fixing this I find is to uninstall Dropbox. I then reinstall Dropbox and everything works fine for a few days until Dropbox corrupts the start menu again. So, I need to continually uninstall and reinstall Dropbox to keep my Start Menu working properly.
Sorry to hear about this, @JCplusULTRA.
Can you also answer Walter's question to Sergei above, regarding the 3rd party apps?

Hi @JCplusULTRA, when you uninstalled and resinstalled the app, did you perform an advanced reinstallation?

Sorry to jump in too, @JCplusULTRA.
Can you please give the advanced reinstall a go, and let me know if it helps?

It didn't help at all. The problem is back a few days after an advanced reinstall.
So the issue persists on the latest version of the app as well @JCplusULTRA?
Sorry to jump in by the way.
