Windows Desktop App 8.10.32 Beta won't launch; can't uninstall
Hello,
As per the title, I have been using the beta releases of the Windows desktop app without much issue.
As of the latest beta (8.10.32.0), the app simply won't launch, no error message or anything. I see the mouse cursor change to the "busy" icon briefly, but that's it.
I checked the log folder in AppData\Local\1Password but couldn't find anything useful; most of the logs are prior to the update, and of the update itself.
I tried installing the stable release, but upon running the installer it says there's a newer version installed. Fair enough, I go to uninstall the version currently installed, but upon hitting "Uninstall" in Windows Settings, nothing happens. (I get the mouse cursor turning "busy" briefly, but that's it.)
(An aside: maybe allow the installer to install an older version anyway, in cases like this?)
Between the time I updated and tried launching 1Password, I also plugged in and set-up a Kensington VeriMark USB fingerprint reader and set it up with Windows Hello. I can't say if it is related or not because of the timing (I didn't use the computer much today, so I don't think I tried logging in before plugging in the reader), but 1Password still doesn't launch if I unplug it.
I briefly considered just deleting the app manually, but considered making a post first in case it might be helpful for you guys to debug. Thanks in advance for any help.
1Password Version: 8.10.32.0 Beta

After posting this, I realized -- why not reinstall with the beta installer? And lo, it works again. Don't know why I didn't think of this earlier. (Sorry!)
Perhaps the main app exe got corrupted during the auto-update, maybe some integrity checks can be done? The uninstaller also works now; if the uninstaller is part of the main app, I think splitting it off bears some consideration in this case.
