Description
### Describe the bug
See Original post: https://community.software.sil.org/t/keyman-freeze-when-installing-keyboards/9021/2
When installing the Shaw QWERTY keyboard using the Keyman Configuration when trying to install and associate the language with the Keyboard Keyman freezes.
### Reproduce the bug
Steps copied from the original post:
Open Keyman
This is for the “Install Keyboard” route:
I choose the .kmp keyboard file I want to install and open
“Install Package” popup appears for the Shaw QWERTY keyboard format
I click “Install” with the windows defender shield(icon0 on it
I allow the app to make changes to my device
Keyman Installation instantly freezes
I close the program with task manager and then reopen Keyman
The keyboard is installed into Keyman even though it crashed
I still have to install it to my device so I select the language and click on “Add/remove language”
A large popup appears that says “Add language” and “Close”, and I select “Add language” and then the right format, then I click “Ok” to add it
The “Installing Language” popup appears and immediately everything freezes, but this time the language is not installed to my device
### Expected behavior
Keyboard and language install.
