These messages seem to suggest that there is an issue with the C:\Users\saksh\AppData\Local\Programs\Anki directory.

Does that directory exist?
Is the directory writeable?
Are the uv.exe and versions.py files inside?

Please consider giving the new beta release a test: Anki 26.05 Beta 1

4

uv.exe and versions.py file is not inside.

Thank you. As suggested above, please consider trying the new beta version. It uses a new installer. (Instead of launching the terminal and running python programs to download and install the rest of Anki, the new installer behaves like a regular/simple Windows installer.)

Otherwise, if you wish to continue troubleshooting the issue, please try deleting the C:\Users\saksh\AppData\Local\Programs\Anki and C:\Users\saksh\AppData\Local\Programs\AnkiProgramFilesdirectories, and then re-download and re-install Anki. (Basically, this uninstalls Anki entirely and then re-installs Anki from scratch. Your collection is in a different directory and will not be affected. Please see the documentation if you would like more details.)
