Loading it crashes the desktop on my Windows 11 machine #87

I navigated to windows\workman-us in the zip archive, then unzipped the directory and installed the keyboard by running wm-us_amd64.msi. The extra keyboard layout showed up in my options in the system tray, but whenever I try clicking on it, it pauses for a few seconds an then the Windows desktop apparently restarts. And it doesn't end up changing the selected keyboard layout.

Also, it shows up in the list as "ENG / English (United States) / English (United States), which makes it hard to differentiate from the QWERTY layout, which is listed as "ENG / English (United States) / US". The Dvorak layout I have installed is listed as "ENG / English (United States) / United States-Dvorak", so this one should probably install as "ENG / English (United States) / United States-Workman".

And one more minor thing: the docs didn't seem to say what the workman-p-* files were for. After reading the webpage more carefully, I saw that there's a separate variant for programming, so I just assumed that's what those are.

Edit: I just restarted Windows for an update, and now it doesn't crash. It seems to work fine. And it now shows "ENG / English (United States) / United States-Workman" in the list. Though one minor problem, in the place in the tray for the keyboard that's always there (not the pull-down list), it just says "ENG", whereas QWERTY says "ENG / US" and Dvorak says "ENG / DV". And also,
I guess the installation program should mention that you need to reboot...
