my aki just stopped opening. No error message or anything similar appears. I don’t know if it’s related with that, but a few days ago, it was appering the following message “Please use the Check Database function then sync again. If problems persist, please force a full sync in the preferences section.” I use Windows 10.

if anyone can help i would appreciate it

Maybe following the steps in the FAQs will help reveal the problem: [When problems occur - Frequently Asked Questions](https://faqs.ankiweb.net/when-problems-occur.html)

Also try the steps in this manual page (especially running from `anki-console`): [Startup Issues - Anki Manual](https://docs.ankiweb.net/platform/windows/startup-issues.html)
