- OS name and version: Windows 11
- ActivityWatch version: activitywatch-tauri-v0.14.0b1-windows-x86_64-setup.exe
Describe the bug
Trying to turn AW on only threw few error popups of crushed watchers and that the max amount of crush popups reached.
To Reproduce
Had AW0.13.2 (qt) installed before.
From here did everything without turning off the PC
Installed activitywatch-tauri-v0.14.0b1-windows-x86_64-setup.exe (just for me) (turned 0.14 on and it worked, don't remember if 0.13 was on).
Then uninstalled AW0.13.2 through windows settings - which exited with the error that it failed to remove some files (didn't mention which) that I can remove manually (Which I didn't)
Now the bug - tried to turn AW0.14 off and on, which only threw few error popups of crushed watchers and that the max amount of crush popups reached. Tried again with same result. Uninstalling (which finished without throwing any error) and re-installing didn't help.
AW worked only after uninstalled again, deleted manually every file related to AW (I didn't have anything worth backing up there yet), and re-installed.
Maybe it's a conflict between the uninstaller of the previous version with installer of the new one?
Expected behavior
AW turning on.
Documentation
The last logs before deleted everything.
