Re-install Dropbox but now stuck at "waiting to download Dropbox"

Question

I tried to re-install Dropbox Client on my Windows 10 PC. I've downloaded the latest Dropbox client from the official site, but it will stuck a "waiting to download". I've also tried the offline installer with no luck. Same situation.

I was wondering could anyone help me to resolve this issue?

I don't want to create another admin user in my PC.

I've checked my PC and don't have Boxifier/Google Drive installed.

I've tried to replicate the issue in my virtual machine, but it works fine in my virtual machine.

Thanks for the update @TCLI.

I'm sorry to ask the obvious; I'm just excluding factors here as I don't have a visual of your device's logs or account's information.

This might sound far fetched, but are you familiar with an app called 'Boxifier'? I remember there was a setting that could block our app's updates from running properly; this is why I'm asking.

If you've never heard of it, please try creating a brand new local Operating System user profile with administrator rights and try to reproduce the behavior there.

In either case, please keep me posted!

.....

I got plenty of space left (over 1TB free space). I've rebooted my PC and try to install dropbox every day. It just stops at "waiting to download" every time.

Trust me. I'm an electronics engineer. I know how to isolate the problem...
