I'm running ARTIQ 6 via Anaconda on Windows, and artiq_master runs fine and I can submit experiments via the command line, but I am unable to launch the dashboard. It throws the following errors when I run the artiq_dashboard command from within my ARTIQ 6 conda environment:

QObject::moveToThread: Current thread (0x1ff670a1480) is not the object's thread (0x1ff69941a20).

This application failed to start because it could not find or load the Qt platform plugin "windows"                                          
in "C:\Users\Ions\anaconda3\Library\plugins\platforms".                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   

Available platform plugins are: direct2d (from C:\Users\Ions\anaconda3\Library\plugins\platforms), minimal (from C:\Users\Ions\anaconda3\Library\plugins\platforms), offscreen (from C:\Users\Ions\anaconda3\Library\plugins\platforms), windows (from C:\Users\Ions\anaconda3\Library\plugins\platforms), direct2d, minimal, offscreen, windows.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   

Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.

In C:\Users\Ions\anaconda3\Library\plugins\platforms there are four files, qdirect2d.dll, qminimal.dll, qoffscreen.dll, and qwindows.dll. Calling it with the verbose flag doesn't print any additional information. Uninstalling and reinstalling Anaconda and recreating the environments also did not fix the issue.

Probably a conda issue that affects all PyQt applications. Do other PyQt conda applications start?

I'm not sure I have any other PyQt applications installed. Could you point me to an example to test out?

I would guess: spyder, jupyter qtconsole, pyqtgraph examples, ...
