CopyQ close-before-update note

For managed CopyQ updates, close all CopyQ instances before starting the installer. The EXE x64 package can return Exit Code 1 when CopyQ is open, and user-context builds can hang or refuse to start until the running clipboard manager exits.

Treat copyq.exe as a conflicting process, then retry and verify the installed version. Official source: CopyQ project/download page.

For managed CopyQ updates, close every CopyQ instance before running the installer. The EXE x64 package can return Exit Code 1, and the per-user x86 package can hang without running, when CopyQ is open during update; use a pre-close or user-deferral step and verify the installed version afterward. Source: official CopyQ source.

For managed CopyQ deployments, pre-stage the Microsoft Visual C++ v14 Redistributable x64 runtime before installing the Windows package. Also close running CopyQ instances before updates, because a running clipboard manager can leave the update hung or incomplete.

Sources: CopyQ official download/source, Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable.

For managed CopyQ updates, close all CopyQ windows and tray processes before starting setup. CopyQ EXE x64 updates can return Exit Code 1 when the app is open, and the per-user x86 update can hang unless all CopyQ instances are closed; pre-close it and verify the installed version afterward. Source: official CopyQ source.

For managed CopyQ updates, close CopyQ before starting the installer. The update can return Exit Code 1 when CopyQ is still running, so include a CopyQ-specific pre-close step and verify the installed version afterward.

Source: CopyQ official source.
