I just created my account and downloaded the most recent version of the desktop app for Mac (Version 25.07.5 (7172b2d2), Python 3.13.5 Qt 6.9.1 Chromium 122). From the start I’ve never been able to create a new deck. The button responds with the prompt to name the new deck (the field is auto field with the name of the sole deck I have), but after hitting ok there’s no response. This same experience is repeated in the browser as well.
I’ve been through all the troubleshooting steps found in the Support > Troubleshooting page.
Try running Tools → Check Database
That was one of the suggestions in the Troubleshooting page and I’ve done that. I just did it again to see if it had any better results but unfortunately it doesn’t seem to resolve anything as I still can’t create a new deck.
You renamed the ‘Default’ deck to ‘Russian’, and then are trying to add a new deck called ‘Russian’. You can use the debug console to fix this quickly:
d= mw.col.decks.get(1)
d['name'] = "Default"
mw.col.decks.save(d)
After running it, you should be able to add a deck with that name.
Please see Miscellaneous - Anki Manual

Thank you! That seemed to resolve my issue. I don’t completely understand what I did. I guess I renamed the default deck like you say, but I first named it Scripture and then tried to add a deck called Russian. Somewhere that caused an issue. In trying to understand what was happening I renamed Scripture to Russian and then reversed that a few times. Every time I hit Create Deck from the beginning however there was no response.
