Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime library error on dropboxupdate.exe, R6030 CRT not initialized
Hi,
I got this error message today, after login into my computer. How can I solve it?
I use Windows 10 LTSC.
Thanks,

Dropbox StaffSorry to see you're also getting this pop-up message, LakerNetman.
Can you actually restart the Dropbox app, to see if that helps?
Make sure to also restart the computer, if you haven't already, of course.
I have a user also seeing this pop up message. Uninstalled and reinstalled Dropbox, rebooted multiple times, tried repairing every installed instance of C++ that would let me repair it but still getting the pop up message. Dropbox appears to be fuctioning correctly but the popup is very annoying. User is running Win11 22H2 and a new download of the installer. Any help you could provide would be greatly appreciated.

Hi bkimball90, if they're not on a Dropbox Basic plan with more than 3 devices connected, could they try an advanced reinstall of the app using the steps in this link?
Are there any apps that could be affecting the downloaded copy of the file, such as a firewall or security software? Could they try downloading the installer from a different browser entirely?
The advanced reinstall seems to have resolved the errors for us. Thank you!

Glad to hear that it helped, enjoy your weekend!
I too get this about twice per week for the last 6 weeks. Usually after the PC has been locked and then unlocked. Uninstalled and reinstalled Dropbox, rebooted multiple times but still getting the pop up message. Dropbox appears to be functioning correctly but the popup is very annoying. I am running Win11 23H2 (admin account) and have dropbox v192.4.4605. I have a basic account. Any help you could provide would be greatly appreciated.
