Hello,

Are you logged in to AnkiWeb? Does logging in make the error go away?

If not, please try the following:

First, ensure you are on the latest version of Anki. You can download it here: https://apps.ankiweb.net/. After downloading, simply run the downloaded file to update your application.

Next, please update the AnkiHub add-on:

  1. On your Anki main screen, go to Tools > Add-ons > Check for Updates.
  2. After the update is complete, please restart Anki.

Let us know if the issue persists after trying these steps. :blush:
