Blank screen when trying to study cards

Hi everyone,

I recently got a new laptop and downloaded Anki (25.09.2 version, I hope it’s the most recent). Initially, it worked well. Now when I try to study a deck, I see a blank screen with the ribbon above kind of faded.

But when I click edit, I can see that the card isn’t blank. Can anyone please advise me?

Thank you!

That’s most likely a video driver issue. Try #6 on the Troubleshooting Checklist . If that doesn’t work, try the rest of that list.

Could also be an issue with the templates or the fields. For example html tags that are opened but never closed cause the webview to render blank as the webview doesn’t know how to handle that.

So my recommendation is this:

  1. If your issue occurs on every card (or specific card type) try what Danika_Dakika said.
  2. If that didn’t help, check your templates (or show us the template).
  3. If that doesn’t fix it either (and in that case probably not all cards are affected), check the contents of your fields.
