My Anki doesn't open/start

I’m glad you were able to get it working in VirtualBox, but I can’t speculate about what is going wrong with your networking on your main system.

Honestly, I gave up on this problem, there is no solution.

That sad :sob: :sob:

Can you try this one thing for me? Restart your PC, go to %localappdata%\Programs and delete the Anki folder. Then, install an older version of Anki like https://github.com/ankitects/anki/releases/download/24.04.1/anki-24.04.1-windows-qt6.exe

[Before rolling back to an earlier version, it’s a good idea to File > Switch Profile > Downgrade & Quit.]

Dude, my Anki won’t open :grinning:, I can’t change profiles.

Don’t work. :smiling_face_with_tear: :smiling_face_with_tear:

Excellent point – you also don’t have a database to preserve. :sweat_smile:
It will just have to be good advice for someone else in the future.

What?

I accepted your point about you not being able to use “Downgrade & Quit.”

Someone can look at this forum in the future for help. It’ll come in help for them (For instance, I solve 99% of my issues from Google searches).

the windows setup wouldnt automatically close the main anki program on versions where it would just hang after exiting. so thats why i suggested ending the task, or restarting your PC, before removing the anki folder and reinstalling.

just gonna give more possible solutions. hopefully OP wont be too bothered with all the notifications.

  • open command prompt as an administrator, type “netsh winsock reset” and enter. then restart your pc. see if it works now.
  • try reverting the driver for your network adapter to an older version. i saw this update for win10+11 so maybe thats the problem?

beyond this, honestly idk.
