Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/ollama/ollama/issues/2693

It was working fine even yesterday, but I got an update notification and it hasn't been working since. I even tried deleting and reinstalling the installer exe, but it seems the app shows up for a few seconds and then disappears again, but powershell still recognizes the command - it just says ollama not running.

@sdrshn-nmbr check Windows Defender, the current version has signature issue because of that Defender is treating it as a Trozen and removes the file. You can download a new copy and install it, and when defender alert pops, you can Whitelist the file.

I just downloaded and installed ollama on my windows 11 desktop. When I click the shortcut, no window appeared on my desktop. But when i checked in the task manager, the 2 ollama processes are there. PC is Ryzen 5 with RTX2060.

I previously installed on my Windows 11 laptop (Ryzen 5 & Radeon graphics) and everything works great.
