UniGetUI Version

Windows version, edition, and architecture

Windows 10 Pro

Describe your issue

I was upgrading other packages, 4 ones, all of them, as small as clink and as heavy as MSVC++ Build Tools

I noticed UniGet 3.1.6 has shown me a banner about upgrade to 3.1.7

I could've clicked the banner, hopying to see more info or some kind of menu, or maybe i did not, but i certainly did not click the BUTTON on that banner. I "marked" to myself to update UniGetUI later, after heavy and slow MSVC++BT completes.

Then i suddenly saw UniGet's user elevation dialog. I thought this could be some secondary elevation request inside MSVC++BT upgrade process, or something. Then it confusingly popped up UniGUI updater i did not ask for. I remember worrying if it would be okay to update UniGet itself while it was busy updating MSVC++BT. But i trusted UniGet to do what it wants and let it follow.

After that process complete i noticed i do not have UniGet's tray icon any more, i checked there was no UniGet process in Task Manager, i clicked the Start menu icon to recreate it - but to no avail. I clicked the desktop icon - to no avail. I copied the path from the desktop icon and pasted it into cmd.exe hoping to at least get any StdErr.log - there was none, but the UniGet did not start either.

Eventually i just launched "C:\Users\XXXXXX\AppData\Local\UniGetUI\UniGetUI Updater.exe" - and after that UniGet finally could start. The start was very slow, though, like it never was run before and had to rebuild all its databases or something.

There is somethign quite shaky in this UniGet 3.1.6 to 3.1.7 update routine...

I encountered the same problem. I double clicked the "C:\Users\XXXX\AppData\Local\UniGetUI\UniGetUI Updater.exe" and its version was 3.1.7.0. After performing an installation procedure, the UniGetUI could work normally.

[marticliment]

Which AVs are you using?

[the-Arioch]

A as in anti-virus? Because usually it is Access Violation Win 10 built in, nothing above it

[marticliment]

Yeah, AntiVirus

I have now resolved this issue

I manually ran winget upgrade and it showed UniGetUI as version 3.1.6, so I ran the Upgrade command and UniGetUI now works as expected

[the-Arioch]

Well, basically you did the same thing me and that other guy did, except you re-downloaded the file that we just found in the disk downloaded before :-)

Same issue again after upgrading to 3,.1.8, I manually ran winget upgrade and it showed UniGetUI as version 3.1.7, so I ran the Upgrade command and UniGetUI now works as expected
