Just to be sure, you went through Troubleshooting - Anki Manual?

yes I have read the manual,
and to be more spesific with what I meant with troubleshooting.

windows tab → system → troubleshoot → other trouble-shooters →
programme compatibility trouble-shooter.

but without changing anything I was able to open anki oncemore.
so thank for replying I guess.

If you click the link above, you’ll find the Anki Troubleshooting Checklist, which will be much more useful than general Windows system troubleshooting. If this happens again, that’s what you should be trying.
