Did you have an existing version installed? Try removing the installation folder completely then install again:
@williammartinez20087 @benes680 What was your existing version before the upgrade? Try uninstalling Anki normally from Windows settings then check if the installation folder still exists (C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Local\Programs\Anki by default), if so delete it manually then download the new version from https://apps.ankiweb.net/
I did. I have sucessfully managed to reinstall with deleting folder and now its possible to open Anki on older version. It is showing this message from ss bellow. I am afraid if updated again, it will just run into problem as before.

You can wait for the next patch release (planned later today) if you don’t want to deal with potential issues and troubleshooting.
