What is the issue?

A recent update decided to wage a personal vendetta against my local Ollama setup with *-nvfp4 - Gemma4 in particular. The charming error message reads: "This library is using a deployment target (0x00020008) that is not supported on this OS." Very helpful, truly.

I'm not upset. I'm fine. The installer, in its infinite wisdom, chose the silent treatment - not a single word about breaking changes, just a casual drive by sabotage. No warning, no changelog pop-up, no "hey buddy, this might ruin your day." Just vibes and a broken setup.
