Perhaps linked to #12925 - although I am getting that in a Windows (Server) OS.

Is this still happening @jmorganca - I am unable to reproduce this issue on 0.13.2.

On Windows Server 2022, the issue persists in Ollama version 0.13.3. #12925

After the update, the right-click menu from System Tray icon worked just twice (but neither Ollama nor Settings were opened). The 3rd attempt didn't even bring up the context menu.
