I think, I've had this exact problem when I updated to IDA 7.6 and the newest version of Diaphora. Or maybe with another plugin.

Not Diaphora's fault. It's some IDA to Python dependency problem. It happens since IDA 7.5 and you need to install a patch like this: https://github.com/gaasedelen/lucid/issues/1#issuecomment-762281421

It looks like a problem with QT, not exactly with Diaphora. If you want to test it, try running the following line in the Python prompt in IDA:

from PyQt5 import QtCore, QtGui, QtWidgets

If it fails, try running idapyswitch on the command line to see if you can fix this problem.

Hey,

I had the same issue on my Windows box, running idapyswitch fixed it, thanks.
