Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/ollama/ollama/issues/11992

Originally assigned to: @BruceMacD on GitHub.

What is the issue?

After the latest update (0.11.5) at time of writing, starting up my computer causes Ollama to call wmic.exe endlessly until the process is killed. Confirmed via Process Monitor, Ollama is the only application attempting to launch wmic.

I have the same problem here, I was forced to uninstall the Ollama app.

Sorry, about this. The app tries to clean up an ollama server that was left running on a conflicting port, but in this case the clean-up was looping in a bad state. I have a fix for this in a release that will be out soon, thanks for letting us know.

Everything's fine, thank you.

For now, I'm running Ollama locally in a Docker container.
