Can’t see again, hard, good, or easy buttons. V52 WIN. Upgraded to v64, checked box to hide bottom banner, changed to light mode, all to no avail.

Tried both on and off for Reduce Motion, still no luck.

If you rename your prefs21.db file to something else while Anki is closed, does that help?

Yeah, still no luck. I just wish I had the buttons like before so I can use my mouse to click on the buttons (again, hard, good, easy)

Other things you can try: minimalist mode, trying with add-ons disabled, and the qt5 version of Anki.
