Hello,
Thank you for posting this
Can you try updating your Anki to the latest version and see if you still get this error? https://apps.ankiweb.net/
I have updated to the latest stable version and am still getting a similar error message.

Hello,
The current version is 26.05, as stated on the website. When you download Anki from here https://apps.ankiweb.net/ and install it, are you not getting this version?
Your error message shows the version 25.09.5
There’s probably a conflict with some add-on. Can you also post the text from Help > About Anki > Copy Debug Info. Do you see the error with all other add-ons disabled?
