“Invalid params provided”

Anki Help
1

I can’t seem to find this issue online, so I’m unsure if I’m patient zero. I reset a card and unchecked the two options (I can’t even tell you what they’re called because I cannot close the error window) and now I’m getting this error.

I’ve reset cards numerous times, so I don’t know what could be causing this.

  1. You don’t say when you’re getting this error – what are you doing when the error happens? Or when you first got the error – was it when you clicked “OK” to reset that card?
  2. When you say you’ve “rebuilt the database” – is that running Check Database? Does that complete without any messages other than the confirmation pop-up in the corner?
  3. Have you done the rest of the Troubleshooting Checklist? Troubleshooting - Anki Manual
  4. Do you sync with any other devices?

This began when I unchecked these boxes for a particular card. I’ve done this numerous times with zero issue. The moment I did that; I received the classic error window that shares troubleshooting suggestions (I followed them). I restart Anki and I’m greeted with the image from the original post (my bad for not taking a screenshot, I didn’t have my anki credentials saved on PC).

I need to reemphasize that I was not able to close the “invalid params” window until my fifth or sixth restart. I managed to open up the FSRS screen and reoptimized + reevaluated the deck. This managed to fix the issue. Unsure why unchecking those boxes would cause such a big deal, and I have not messed with any FSRS settings.

That’s some creative thinking! I don’t know if it would have occurred to me that re-optimization would be a fix for a generic error about “params.” And that does seem like a strange error to get when you’re not even in your Deck Options. Hopefully that additional information will help the developers identify this!
