Uninstall Keyman

[Leontina Heidgerken]

Iuninstalled Developer and .143 without a problem, but when I tried to uninstall .142, I first got this:

I closed Signal, then told it to attempt to close the apps. I believe it said it would require a restart. I said OK.

I also got the ESet message again. The file pointed to in that message was C:\Windows\Installer\MSI6E5C.tmp. So Keyman is still listed in the Installed apps list. I tried the uninstall again, and got the same result (except the file was MISI5AC3.tmp that time).

One other piece of info, when I close Keyman and look in the Task Manager, it is right at the moment when the Keyman engine (I forget the exact name) process ends that the browser starts working again. Not really surprising, but maybe helpful info.

It turns out that Eberhard was on the right track. From the ProcMon log, Marc determined that when I exited out of Keyman, an ESET module was scanning the Keyman engine like 900 times before it could quit. So the obvious recommendation was to uninstall ESET. I uninstalled ESET, and after the reboot I quickly updated my Windows Defender, so I had at least some virus protection. My browsers and Keyman started working very nicely together again.

1a. Install one of the vernacular keyboards from the kmp file

1b. Use the Bukawa or yamap keyboard

1c. Uninstall the Bukawa or yamap keyboard

2. Go to a program where I was just typing vernacular.

3. I cannot type SHIFT + N. Other keystrokes seem to work fine.

4. Exit Keyman.

5. Go back to one of the problematic programs.

6. Press SHIFT + N once. Nothing happens.

7. Press SHIFT + N again, it works normally.

It looks like a lot is going on here. I would recommend that you uninstall Keyman now and restart your machine for any necessary updates to take effect. Then trying to reinstall Keyman and the SIL IPA keyboard.

As with all Keyman products, Keyman for Linux is completely free and open-source. The feature grid below details the technical differences in functionality between Keyman for Windows, and the current version of Keyman for Linux:

This brings up a configuration panel where you can "Download" Keyman keyboards from the cloud repository. You can also "Install" keyboards via local .kmp keyboard packages. In some keyboard packages, you might need to add the keyboard to IBus by adding an "Other" input source. See help.keyman.com for more details on installing a keyboard.

A. The short answer is a lot! With keyboards for over 2000 languages, there's a very good chance we have yours covered. You can search for a keyboard for your language here. If we don't already have a keyboard available, you can use Keyman Developer to build one!

The genuine KeyMan.exe file is a software component of Multimedia Keyboard by Cherry.

Special programmable keys offered on keyboards made by Cherry Corporation require the Keyman.exe module to operate properly. Cherry manufactures keyboards, mice, and other computer input devices, as well as industrial switching and control technology. Cherry Electrical Products, founded in a restaurant basement in Highland Park, IL, USA, by Walter Cherry in 1953, performed most of its expansion into Europe, Mexico and Asia before its acquisition by ZF Friedrichshafen in 2008. No connection exists between "Keyman.exe" and the "Keyman" software line of multilingual virtual keyboards by Tavultesoft. All modules developed by or for Tavultesoft have the suffixes ".KMX" or ".KMP".

A clean and tidy computer is the key requirement for avoiding problems with KeyMan. This means running a scan for malware, cleaning your hard drive using 1cleanmgr and 2sfc /scannow, 3uninstalling programs that you no longer need, checking for Autostart programs (using 4msconfig) and enabling Windows' 5Automatic Update. Always remember to perform periodic backups, or at least to set restore points.

Should you experience an actual problem, try to recall the last thing you did, or the last thing you installed before the problem appeared for the first time. Use the 6resmon command to identify the processes that are causing your problem. Even for serious problems, rather than reinstalling Windows, you are better off repairing of your installation or, for Windows 8 and later versions, executing the 7DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth command. This allows you to repair the operating system without losing data.
