Cards lagging after I press "space"

Hi there,

Apologies because I’m relatively new to Anki and not entirely familiar with the software. I am currently using Anki Desktop, and whenever I switch to a new card, it lags behind by 5-10 seconds. Sometimes it takes so long that I’ll press “space” a second time and then it completely skips the next card. I went through all of the troubleshooting steps, and the issue was not caused by any add-ons that I am aware of. For now, I’ve been using the deck through the mobile app with absolutely no issues, but I would like to have it working on my laptop. Please let me know if there is anything I can do to fix this. Thank you!

Changing video drivers did not solve it?

No, is there a step after changing video drivers that I should do? I’ve been closing and reloading the app to use the new video driver because my laptop says it loads automatically.

See #6: Troubleshooting - Anki Manual .
You should restart Anki after each change.
