GitHub Copilot:

This issue might be caused by a conflict between Ollama and certain library files (DLL files) installed by Docker Desktop.

The idea behind the solution is to find these potentially conflicting Docker files and rename them so that Ollama doesn't load them.

Here are the specific steps:

Open Command Prompt or PowerShell as Administrator:

Type cmd or powershell in the Windows search bar.
Right-click on "Command Prompt" or "Windows PowerShell" in the search results.
Select "Run as administrator".
Change to the Docker Directory:

In the administrator Command Prompt or PowerShell window that opens, type the following command and press Enter:
cd "C:\Program Files\Docker\Docker\resources\bin"
Rename the Conflicting DLL Files:

Execute the following commands one by one to rename each file (adding a .old suffix to the original filename):
ren ggml-base.dll ggml-base.dll.old
ren ggml-cpu.dll ggml-cpu.dll.old
ren ggml.dll ggml.dll.old
ren llama.dll llama.dll.old
If a file doesn't exist, you'll see an error message. You can ignore it and proceed to the next command.
Retry Running the Ollama Command:

Go back to the terminal window where you were previously running Ollama (or run it directly in the administrator window) and try again:
ollama run qwen3:14b
Note:

Renaming these files might affect some functionalities of Docker Desktop. If you encounter issues with Docker Desktop, you can rename the files back (remove the .old suffix).
This method is based on the experience of other users and is not guaranteed to solve your problem, but it's worth trying.

This seems to be te problem. Docker desktop is updates and caused te problem.
I've checked the path, Ollama is first in the path string. So why would it take a dll from some unrelated folder?
This is not a solution but a workarround, it still needs a bug fix.

Set OLLAMA_DEBUG=1 and the logs will show that ollama does exclude paths not directly related to ollama. This might be some OS level activity. #9509 is tracking this issue.
