    Hi demaq89, wishing you a happy Thursday! 

    Have you tried these steps in order to perform an advanced re-install on your device? 

    What was the result? 

    Keep me posted!

      What happened to the rest of this thread?  I had been following/commenting on three threads with the error code 1073741795; this was one of the three.  Now, none of my comments can be view as well as lot of comments by other community members/posters.

        Likewise, I've been dealing with this error code for weeks now with no success. I've tried uninstalling dropbox completely, moving the dropbox files away from it's default location, safe mode install, disabling antivirus etc... 

        Every thread ends with "I'll email you directly" and never any actual resolution or solution posted on the forum.
