Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/ollama/ollama/issues/11150

Once the app is launched, the menu bar icon switches to the "Updates Available" version. It gives me the Restart to Update option like the stable version. When I click that it loads what seems to be the old stable version of the app next to the preview version.

Now, if I quit both apps via the menu bar and then relaunch ollama (via /Applications/Ollama.app, which previously launched the preview version), it launches the stable version instead of the preview version, at least according to the menu bar icon. It only offers me the option to Quit. No update option is available, which is expected since it is the stable version and up-to-date.

I have to reinstall the preview version from the dmg in order to get it back.
