I try to start Keynote, the Icon bounces for quite a while and then stops.
A "Keynote process (not responding)" process is running but no effect.
I have tried restarting the OS and reinstalled Keynote.
I have also disabled iClod for Keynote which I read somewhere.
Do I have to revert to the M$ alternative...sigh!
iMac Line (2012 and Later)
Please confirm the exact Mac and Mac OS you have: go to: Apple menu > About this Mac
Your post states you have an iMac 2012 which is not compatible with Big Sur.
In the meantime, create a new user account and test Keynote as described here to see if your current user account is corrupted:
So, tested created a new user. That user can still not start Keynote.
(iMac (Retina 5K, 27 tum, late 2015))
In the "system message"-app I can see that "syncdefaultsd" get a crasch report:
Exception Type: EXC_BAD_ACCESS (SIGBUS)
Exception Codes: KERN_MEMORY_ERROR at 0x000000010ce0596c
Exception Note: EXC_CORPSE_NOTIFY
I have occasional restarts 1/month, guessing I have a memory problem....but haven't had any other apps missbehavin

So, latest update 11.5.2 fixed the problem. Restarted, finished installation and now Keynote starts quickly lika a charm.

That is correct I do not have an 2012 iMac, the option I (thought) selected was later than 2012. I think it is about two years old. I will test creating a new account.
Keynote will not start nor open existing presentations on iMac Big Sur (11.5.1)
