The Windows system can automatically launch Ollama after each startup, but currently only Ollama.app can be started.In the app, the dialog box model remains in a loading state. To use Ollama, you must open a command prompt and run the ollama serve command. What's causing this issue? This wasn't a problem before.

extent analysis

TL;DR

The issue might be resolved by investigating the differences in the startup process between the automatic launch and the manual ollama serve command.

Guidance

  • Investigate the command or script that automatically launches Ollama after startup to see if it's correctly executing the equivalent of ollama serve.
  • Compare the environment and working directory when running ollama serve manually versus when it's launched automatically to identify potential discrepancies.
  • Check if there have been any recent changes to the system, Ollama configuration, or dependencies that could be causing the dialog box model to remain in a loading state.
  • Verify if the ollama serve command is correctly configured to handle the dialog box model, potentially indicating a missing dependency or incorrect setup.

Notes

The exact cause of the issue is unclear without more information about the system configuration, Ollama version, and recent changes. Further investigation into the startup process and environment differences is necessary.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Run the ollama serve command manually until the root cause of the automatic launch issue is identified and resolved, as it currently allows for functional use of Ollama.
