I had the newest version of Anki (2.1.61) downloaded and it was working perfectly fine. Recently, every time I open anki and try to browse for a card the app with just crash within 3 minutes of using it. I have deleted it and downloaded it again. I started it with all the add-ons turned off and I restarted my mac but nothing seems to be working.

Have you tried both the Qt5 and Qt6 version?

Please try the ‘reset window positions’ button in the preferences screen after starting Anki. Does that help?
