No tray presence, or output shown on Windows 11, CLI or graphic UI start about copyq HOT 3 OPEN

Tried the setup.exe install with the same result.

Tailed the log to see what was happening after enabling logging using https://copyq.readthedocs.io/en/latest/faq.html#how-to-enable-logging

& 'C:\Program Files\CopyQ\copyq.exe' exit
$env:COPYQ_LOG_LEVEL = 'DEBUG'
$env:COPYQ_LOG_FILE = [Environment]::GetFolderPath("MyDocuments") + '\copyq.log'
echo "Logs will be written to $env:COPYQ_LOG_FILE"
& 'C:\Program Files\CopyQ\copyq.exe

When running:

& 'C:\Program Files\CopyQ\copyq.exe' exit

The log showed:

CopyQ DEBUG [2024-06-14 06:53:22.640] <Client-12772>: Waiting for server to start
CopyQ ERROR [2024-06-14 06:53:23.646] <Client-12772>: Cannot connect to server! Start CopyQ server first.

Yet, when trying to start it using just:

& 'C:\Program Files\CopyQ\copyq.exe'

The log shows:

CopyQ DEBUG [2024-06-14 06:53:11.009] <Server-32784>: Another process holds lock file: C:/Users/edgeb1/AppData/Roaming/copyq/copyq.lock

from copyq.

OK, finally got a window up using

& 'C:\Program Files\CopyQ\copyq.exe' show

Looking through the config, the "Disable tray" is NOT checked and yet there's no tray presence.

I'm thinking now that that's the main issue - on my installation, there's no visible presence that it's running.
That may have been compounded by a stale lock file.

Lastly, there were no keys shortcuts defined in the config. Is this expected?

Another observation is that even when pinning copyq to the status bar, clicking on it does nothing.
I would expect this to show the main window.
That would have made the hunt for the app's UI unnecessary.

All aside, this appears to be the best available windows clipboard manager!
