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!

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 11.2

That's really funny. Of course the first thing I did before reinstalling is to check for updates, both for Keynote and for macOS but none were displayed. Now I can see the red badge showing that there is system upgrade...


Thanks, it works again. Yesterday I did my presentation using the icloud.com version of Keynote, it went well ;)
