[BUG]: Dropbox Client no longer works with the script to disable Automatic Update Services applied #189
Comments
I have hit this bug with Dropbox v175.4.5569. |
Thank you for the quality issue @Dario011 with helpful details including script file. Can this be caused by Let me know if reverting this solves the issue for anyone, if we identify that it's the case, we should document that this script can break third party apps connectivity checks, and dropbox devs should have done better..

Good evening, I imagined that I would never have any answer to this problem.... |
Thank you for the update. I'm sorry for late response, life things lately and missed this issue. This kind of side-effects are not intended and can be considered bug. We should handle this if anyone else that encounters this problem gives us more context. P.S.: I also switched to Linux, added Linux support in recent versions. Linux will be first-class citizen in privacy.sexy. |
Closing this as we cannot reproduce this anymore. If anyone else experiences this in future, feel free to create a new issue or re-open this with help request or just by sharing more insights. |
- Group NCSI disabling under single category for better organization. - Remove NCSI from 'Strict' recommendations due to side effects (addressing #189, #216). - Improve documentation with cautions about breaking internet status and captive portals (addressing #189, #216). - Add removal of new `NcsiUwpApp` system app #279. - Add more ways to disable the feature. - Add ability to constrain Windows version in `DisableService`.
Description
When using the scripts to disable Dropbox Automatic Updates Service, the client becomes unusable, it shows me the following message "Your device has no internet connection. Please try again", and it stays in "Connecting..." and never starts.
