What is the problem?

Hello! For a few weeks now I've been trying to solve a problem that started without explanation, at least I think so.

I used qbittorrent normally until one day it stopped searching. I simply type something in the search field and after a few seconds it shows an error message at the bottom of the screen, as shown in the screenshot.

I've tried every possible solution I found online and I can't solve it. The program seems to be installed correctly and properly connected, but file searches always fail.

I've already uninstalled, restarted the PC, and reinstalled it as administrator. I've used a program to clean up the previous installation and reinstalled it. I've installed both the previous and current versions. I checked my internet service settings to see if there was any IP blocking and found nothing. Finally, I did a Windows Network Reset, which also didn't solve anything. I don't know what else to do!!!

Note: This problem only occurs on my Windows 11 laptop with a Wi-Fi connection (it doesn't have a LAN connection), with the configurations below. On my desktop PC with a LAN connection, it works normally, with the same version of Windows and qBittorrent.

PLEASE, SOMEONE HELP ME!

Update...

Adding a magnetURL allows me to download via qBittorrent, but my own search still doesn't find anything. I've even added more search plugins and it still doesn't find the files.

https://github.com/qbittorrent/search-plugins/wiki/How-to-configure-Jackett-plugin but this is the bug tracker, not support.

Ok, and what about the other trackers?

[CrisFerraz]

The problem I need to solve isn't related to the Jackett plugin! I have several plugins installed, yet qBittorrent still doesn't return any search results. No matter what I type in the search bar, it starts searching, but after a few seconds, it displays the error message shown in the image. The message appears at the bottom of the page; it is not the Jackett plugin error message!

Everything is connected, all inbound and outbound firewall rules are configured, and there are no blocks from Windows Defender, the firewall, or antivirus software.

Can anyone help?

Resolved
I uninstalled and reinstalled Python. I uninstalled all the plugins, closed qBittorrent, reopened it, reinstalled the plugins, and it started working again.
