UniGetUI Version

3.1.6

Windows version, edition, and architecture

Windows 11 Pro 10.0.26100.3037

Describe your issue

I started updates with maximized UniGetUI main window and then unmaximized it.

The layout got stuck with most elements out of bounds and not responding to input except the list of packages is responding to mouse scroll so the UI is not fully frozen.

Applications continue to update in the background and I receive notifications from UniGetUI about them.

Steps to reproduce the issue

No response

Couldn't access due to locked UI. This is captured after restart:

Tray icon title says "Attention required"

Can you remember which app were you updating?

[mwisnicki]

All of them. Not sure which one was it at when I switched to the window.

I assumed there is some modal piece of ui blocking event processing that went bad, perhaps that "share anonymous data" in toolbar?

[mwisnicki]

I could also close main window and recall it from tray icon and it was still stuck.

No, it shouldn't

[fluffynuts]

I'm seeing the same thing - actually had to kill the app when it attempted to update GoW: the GoW installer launched a dialog asking if it should uninstall the existing version and I couldn't focus or click on that, and UniGetUI also got stuck. I killed all of that and started again, unticking GoW for updates, and then it appeared to get stuck whilst updating VS Build tools - UI unresponsive even after (eventually) the installer completed.

I'm leaving it running in this state because it's still completing other installers - but again, the app is non-responsive to user input.

I really like this front-end, but it's kinda frustrating when the UI becomes unresponsive to user input - I couldn't click settings or about or anything.

I will continue investigating the issue, however I cannot reproduce it with the given steps - for me the UI works fine

do you mean the OP given steps, or have you tried with GoW and VS (I have VS Community and VS Build tools installed)? This is on upgrade, so it would take a little time to test, tho GoW should give the same issue every time as it's pretty-much stable and appears to be "upgradeable" because winget doesn't know what version is installed.

Yeah, I have tried GoW, and I regularly update vs community via UniGetUI, and the interface doesn't freeze at any point

I feel your pain - trying to debug issues that you can't reproduce is an exercise in futility
