Workflowy desktop app keeps disappearing
CompletedI have had this issue once, a while back. Now it happened again, twice over the past couple of days. Workflowy desktop app will simply completely disappear from my system (Windows 10). The shortcuts dont open anything, there is nor Workflowy app to uninstall. Just like that. Anyone?

Sorry about that. A few others who got into this state had a corrupted file somewhere, and used this tool to uninstall any aspects of WorkFlowy (https://www.revouninstaller.com/) and then reinstall (https://workflowy.com/downloads/windows/). Let me know if that helps. If not, write to us at help@workflowy.com and we can dig in deeper. Thanks.

This appears to be a bug with Electron-Builder. We are dependent on them to fix this, alas. https://github.com/electron-userland/electron-builder/issues/2514

Thanks for the reply. The disappearing icon/not working shortcuts seem to be an Electron-builder issue. But why does Workflowy also disappear from uninstall-menu? (Obviously, the need to install an additional programme just to uninstall Workflowy is somewhat non-ideal. Especially since the programme only allows uninstalling windows apps on its free trial, with 25$ to keep using it.)
On a perhaps related note (not sure): I noticed that my Workflowy-folder in ...AppData/Roaming has a size of 1.2 GB. That seems large to me. Or is this what is to be expected after a fresh install? It contains 15 versions of an installer-....exe file, with different numbers replacing "...".

Hi there, even https://www.revouninstaller.com/ cannot find Workflowy. Is there another program you know of that is able to uninstall the broken Workflowy version?

I am also having this issue - repeatedly. Digging around, it seemed like Electron-Builder has deployed a fix for this issue (see link from Frank above), can Workflowy team take a look?
https://github.com/electron-userland/electron-builder/pull/5312 and
"develar commented on Dec 17, 2020
It was included into pre-release."
Is there really reason to think that I have a corrupted file? I have been doing manual delete and reinstall. The electron-builder issue sounds more likely than corrupted file issue.
