I installed Keyman 16.0.142 on Windows 11 yesterday, and after the restart, had some problems getting my keyboards to work. When I managed to close enough windows to restart again, I gave a quick test, and my keyboards seemed to be working again. There was a Windows update pending, so I went ahead and applied that, and after that closed the computer. A while later I started up again, and none of my browsers worked (Firefox, Edge, Chrome). Sometimes they would sort of bring up a window, but often would be “(Not responding)”, and could get nothing to show on the screen.
I assumed it was the Windows update, so I uninstalled that update. Same problem. That’s how I left my computer when I went to bed. During my not-so-restful night’s sleep, the fact that I had just updated Keyman also came to mind. So when I got to the office this morning, I verified the problem was still there (browsers hung), and when I turned off Keyman, my browsers started working again! Activate Keyman → browser hung, deactivate → browser works. And I’m typing this in my browser right now…
I see now that there is a version 16.0.143, which I have just now downloaded, and I will try to install to see if that helps. I can’t imagine that the problem was directly with Keyman 16.0.142, but maybe some weird interaction with other things? But I find this rather disconcerting…
