What was displayed when you tried? Perhaps you’re using a shortcut that points in the old or new location, when you installed the other one.

First, I tried to run it via the shortcut in `Start Menu\Programs`. Then, I told my PC to execute `C:\Program Files\Anki\anki.exe` directly.

> What was displayed when you tried?

Nothing was displayed; I didn’t notice any reaction on the screen. I didn’t check task manager, though.

I suppose if it starts up for every one else, it was probably a peculiarity on my end 🤔.

The other issue was that window sizes and browser columns were apparently reset by update. This one I expect is more likely to occur to other people, too.

I’ve tried to reproduce both issues (on the same system), but without success.

edit: I’ve found out the reason. There was a folder called `PyQt6` in `C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Programs\Anki\lib\`, which needed to be deleted. I use the Qt5 version.

The window position reset is expected on upgrade, as it is trying to fix crashes that some users are experiencing.
