Keynote crashes on startup Hey all, Keynote won't open any more without crashing within a second. I am running Big Sur 11.2.3 on a MacBook Air M1 from 2020. I also reinstalled it and removed all the settings, preferences and cache files I could find but it keeps crashing on startup! Any hints how to get it working again? My next presentation is in two hours and I start to panic! Thanks!

Keynote crashing MacbookAir M1 Big Sur Hello, Today Keynote started crashing suddenly. I can't open my keynote presentations, no matter which one I try to open. Went online to see if there was a solution in apple community and there I found a post addressing this issue which said to delete and uninstall the keynote app, then restart de computer, download keynote and restart again. (here is the link: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/252049604) Tried this and had no results. Keynote keeps crashing. I NEED URGENT ASSISTANCE, for this interferes whit my work, please.

Go to System Preferences > Software Update and update macOS to the latest version, currently Big Sur 11.4.

After that the crashing will stop.

Thank you. I can't believe it was that simple - I'm embarrassed - but appreciative.
