Anki wont start up on windows 10

I just downloaded Anki for the first time and the app is installed but when I try to run it it just doesn’t start up. it doesn’t give me any error messages. The version is 64 bit 2.1.49. i’ve tried uninstalling and reinstalling and opening it with shift click and none has worked.

Here are a few things you can try:

Those commands need to be run in cmd.exe, not as a Python file. Before pursuing that further, please try the latest Qt6 beta and see if it helps. https://betas.ankiweb.net/
