Auto Update for HWInfo 64 Pro 8.12 to 8.14 Not Working

After clicking start update, the application suggests it will finalize the update and will restart but all it does is close itself.
 
Also, is there a way to remove it from minimizing to the system tray? I don't remember this being the case in v8.12 and below but I could be wrong.
 
When you start HWiNFO again, does it come up as v8.14?
Minimizing into tray can be disabled in main settings.

It didn't come up as v8.14. I eventually just downloaded it from the site.

Is the system tray option in the main setting's general tab? I don't see an option to remove it. Just to be clear, I'd rather not have the HWInfo system tray icon at all. It shows on app launch and persists until I close the application.

Yes, it's in the "General / User Interface" tab. In some situations it's not possible to completely disable the tray icon as it would be impossible to reach certain options.
