Anki Launcher Error : Failed with code Some(-1073741819)

Anki Help

In Windows 11, I tried to update Anki, from 25.02.7 to latest version, using the file ‘anki-launcher-25.07.3-windows’

But it doesn’t work…the message is,

Anki Launcher
Error: Failed with code Some(-1073741819): C:\Anki\uv.exe run --no-project C:\Anki\versions.py
Press enter to close…

How can I fix it?

If you run this command in cmd.exe, do you see any error messages?

Please install the latest launcher, run it, and copy&paste any text you see from it here:

There seems to be something wrong with your system. Would you be willing to run some cmd.exe commands/other changes to potentially isolate the problem?
