The app won't update or forgets my profile

Old Windows versions can't update themselves, and an old install can reset your profile. Both take one fresh install.

It keeps downloading but never updates

Windows versions 1.6.6 to 1.6.24 can’t install updates. Check yours in Settings → About. Your settings, servers and identity stay as they are.

  1. Close Gryt completely

    Use Quit in the tray icon’s menu. Closing the window leaves it running.

  2. Install it again

    Get the installer from our download page and run it. Updates work by themselves after that.

It asks me to set up my profile every time

This usually comes from an install older than version 1.0.122 that’s still on your Windows computer.

  1. Uninstall Gryt

    Go to Settings → Apps → Gryt Chat → Uninstall in Windows.

  2. Delete the old folder

    Delete C:\\Users\\<user>\\AppData\\Local\\Programs\\client if it’s still there.

  3. Install the latest version

    Get it from our download page.

How updates normally work

Gryt checks when it starts and once an hour after that. It downloads in the background and installs when you quit, or when you press restart and update now. That restart drops you out of a call, so you can wait. You can turn this off in Settings → Updates → Automatic updates.
