I started Anki and got:
Error
An error occurred. Please start Anki while holding down the shift key, which will temporarily disable the add-ons you have installed.
If the issue only occurs when add-ons are enabled, please use the Tools > Add-ons menu item to disable some add-ons and restart Anki, repeating until you discover the add-on that is causing the problem.
When you've discovered the add-on that is causing the problem, please report the issue on the add-on support site.

I have four add-ons:
- Hierarchical Tags 2
- Ignore accents in browser search
- Incremental Reading
- LPCG LyricsPoetry Cloze Generator
Please note that I don’t have any deck nor notes generated by the Incremental Reading add-on at the moment of the error. Besides that, I restarted Anki (without holding shift), and the error didn’t occur. Moreover all add-on updates were already checked that day (info in the log), so I assume they were the last version available at that time.
As a final note, I’d say that my collection seems intact (I can’t know by sure since I have quite a lot of cards, but the magnitude is the same as last time I opened Anki, and no deck seem to have been purged).
