Up until today when I was downloading Anki for the first time, whenever I try opening the app the small loading icon with my mouse appears but the app does not load or do anything. I went on the website and tried doing the debug method for Windows, but I really do not understand what i’m doing here.…

Do the same as in this gif to open the Windows Command promt in C:\Program Files\Anki and then type anki-console and press Enter. ▶ Video https://anki.tenderapp.com/kb/problems/when-anki-doesnt-start-on-windows-debugging-steps
