Error message 0xc000007b upon installation.
I can't get the app to install on my laptop. I keep getting the error message 0xc000007b and nothing suggested seems to work.
Am I destined to not have this app on my laptop?

Hi SBering, welcome to our Community!
It sounds like the error message you're getting is a Windows related one.
Could you temporarily disable any antivirus or firewalls you may have running on your computer and try again? If you still get the same results, please send us a screenshot so that we can have a visual too.
Also, have you tried to restart your device?
Keep me posted, and we'll take it from there!

Dropbox version 174.4.5852 is the last version I can install. - Windows 10

My dropbox on Win 11 somehow stopped auto updating. It's still 174.3.5762. I have another Win 10 PC and it's updated all right. I even tried to manually update but got error. How can I fix it?

First of all disable your antivirus software, sometimes Antivirus software can interfere with Dropbox updates if it fails, you can uninstall and reinstall Dropbox. I think these steps must work
