ISSUE: Keyman fails to start if the Keyman Update icon is in the system notification area

NOTE: This archived documentation has not been updated recently and may contain information that is no longer relevant

Symptoms

You have a Keyman Update icon visible in your system notification area (don't forget to click on the expansion icon on the left to see additional icons).

Background

In some cases, this Keyman Update icon can cause Keyman or Keyman-based apps to fail to start, as they are waiting for the update to finish.

Workaround

Either apply or cancel the update by clicking on the icon. After this, Keyman should start normally.

Applies to:

  • Keyman Desktop 8.0
  • Keyman Desktop 9.0
