delete the previous download and get a fresh copy from the official site (Do Not use a download manager program).
Do a clean install.
Start Calibre (You can watch the status in the Task manager)
Do not rush to Kill the process, some updates (I don't have a list of which releases do this) will modify the database structure, that can take some time depending on the size of the Library. Killing that process is probably the worst thing you could do  . |
Can you say "crashed" if the process is still there? I would call it hung.
I uninstalled Calibre, rebooted, and installed a clean copy, downloaded from calibre-ebook.com. I still got the same behavior: got the large logo for a moment, and the calibre.exe process is there, but not in the Applications tab, not in the task bar, and the web server is not responding. I left it running and it has been there for a couple of hours so far. How long should I leave it there before I kill it? Is there any other way to kill it than the Task Manager?
So what is the next step? Should I run the calibre-debug process with the -g flag from the CLI? Is there some other way to debug this?
