After starting the gears workbench an error occurs:

Not sure if this is related to this workbench. The traceback mention shiboken2. Did you compile freecad yourself?

[schoenid]

I've installed FreeCAD from Website (Windows installation package). All other workbenches are working fine without errors. Packages were instaled using the Addon-Manager on FreeCAD menu tools (Werkzeuge).

Because I've got a dual boot system, I've checked it on Ubuntu 22.04. There is no problem. Unfortunately, the Ubuntu system is not usable for me, because I'm working on network drives, and the cifs package (required for samba networking) has some bugs, which makes it impossible for me to use it.

However, here my FreeCAD info from Ubuntu:

I'm not familiar with Python, so I'm not able to find the problem on the Windows side.

Again my FreeCAD packages used: Windows - https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD/releases/download/0.21.2/FreeCAD-0.21.2-WIN-x64-installer-1.exe Ubuntu - snap version (sudo snap install freecad)

After installing Gears, restart FC and try to open the WB I got this:
