When using a custom study session (I have not tried this with any other deck), I get the first card, but when I try to see the answer, an error message pops up.

I have tried starting Anki while holding shift. Still an error. I have tried “check database” to no avail. I have uninstalled and reinstalled, which didn’t work either.

Something seems wrong with the deck’s configuration - if it’s a filtered deck please try deleting it.

I’ve been getting this same error. Did deleting the filtered deck fix the issue?
