Hi, I am having a problem with Anki. Out of blue the program freeze and pop out a message that it is creating a backup. I have try everything I have found online. This is getting annoying. I have to shout it down from task manager.
I am using ankiweb on my pc windows 10, and it is my first time using Anki

This actually happened to me many times, this week it happened twice and I’m not sure what I did to cause it… I think its just something to do with Anki @abdo.nh
Has been happening to me too at least twice a day for the past 2 weeks, it started after I updated Anki, so it’s def an Anki issue
The (temp) solution I found was to force END TASK for Anki thru the Task Manager and restart Anki
I’ve seen reports of this on the forums. There’s a change in Anki 23.10+ that made many add-ons freeze when doing long-running operations. This is probably related, but it needs to be fixed on the add-ons’ side.

"Thank you for sharing your experience with this issue. I’ve been attempting to troubleshoot by narrowing down, deleting, and reinstalling some add-ons, and it seems that I may have made some progress. Thus far, I haven’t encountered any errors. The add-ons I deleted are:
- fastbar with night mode support,
- custom background image and gear icon
- Anki simulator,
- Google Translate.
I’m keeping my fingers crossed and hoping that this error doesn’t resurface."
I hope this helps.

A bug was just found in Anki that might be causing this. It’s more likely to occur with many add-ons.
