Not able to install using "anki-launcher-25.07.5-windows"

Hi Guys,

so I just tried to install Anki on windows 11, installing for the first time and I’m getting below error :

Anki Launcher

Checking for updates…
Unable to check for Anki versions. Please check your internet connection.

Error: Failed to run (-1073741819): C:\Users\91971\AppData\Local\Programs\Anki\uv.exe run --no-project --no-config --managed-python --with pip-system-certs --python 3.13.5 C:\Users\91971\AppData\Local\Programs\Anki\versions.py:
Press enter to close…

That’s it, and then it closes, I’m stuck what do I do, I checked other discussions, but it doesn’t help.

I tried to run that command in cmd prompt, but it runs without any error and doesn’t give any output. Please help

Do you have Astrill VPN installed? Please see

Hi, no I don’t have any VPN software installed. Not sure what the issue is :frowning:

Have you checked the rest of the usual suspects for things that can block a connection – antivirus, firewall, proxy?

Please run cmd.exe, then type/paste the following in and press enter:

netsh winsock show catalog

What does it show?

It gives a long output, anything specific you’re looking for?

You should copy-paste it here. Dae might take some time before he sees this again.

im having the same issue if someone figured this out please please let me know

I guess this is a network connection problem. For example, accessing GitHub or Amazon’s S3 in mainland China often encounters obstacles. The previous versions were complete installation packages.
