When you are done with the Calibre, reverse the process by Run --> msconfig and hit return -->select normal startup -->ok and reboot.
I did extensive testing adding and removing startup items but nothing worked to hit the problem. If you get to the problem, please let me know.

That tells me either a driver or program interaction (which is why you had poor luck tripping it up).
Usual culprits:
Roll back managers
Security suites (sometime a configuration will fix)
File Shadowing (real time backup)
Malware
anti-Malware SW
Additional (different versions) of Python (change the Path variable order to place it AFTER Calibre)
Strip all the 3rd party 'helper' utilities from the startup, leaving a basic 'new' Windows config.
and good luck, these kinds are hard to find.
