Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/ollama/ollama/issues/8005

Originally assigned to: @dhiltgen on GitHub.

I also tried downloading ollama-windows-arm64.zip and replacing some files in my user folder which doesn' t fix the tray icon still notify the update. Could there be a smaller OllamaSetup.exe ?

This combined with the tray "restart to update" button not effective can be very annoying.

Can you clarify what you mean? Does the "restart to update" menu item not start an upgrade?

At present the windows setup installer contains all our dependencies to ensure Ollama works properly. We don't have a minimal upgrade-only installer that omits the unchanged dependencies. We're looking at ways we can try to streamline the size of the installer in the future.

just use ollama from msys2 https://packages.msys2.org/packages/mingw-w64-x86_64-ollama it updates only the dependencies you need and nothing else
