The issue persists in Ollama version 0.12.10.

Installed from official download. The system tray icon was right-clickable just once (it showed the context menu) but the App was not open when I clicked on "Start Ollama." Repeated right-clicks on the system tray icon did not even open a context menu.

CLI works (in Windows PowerShell), models start and run normally. This is a GPU-less Intel machine, 4 NUMA nodes, models set to use only one NUMA node.

The issue persists in Ollama version 0.13.3.

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.

Same for me.
0.17.4, 0.17.5, 0.17.6 - all bugged.
Can once after start launch context menu.
Can use "Show logs" menu item properly.
Anything else will stuck app. not matter what, include "Quit Ollama".
Main thread sit in WaitForSingleObjextEx. (0.17.6 is here)
Image
In logs nothing unusual.

BTW it work before. IDK what happen since then. But not work anymore.
Autoupdater continue work even if app stuck.
Watchdog work as well and restart ollama.exe.
Kill ollama.exe not help app unstuck.

I hold GPU Nvidia, and there no problems run server in cli or talk with model. Only app stuck.
