When I try to add books using the Add Books option and say "single directory", at the point where I want to access C drive, it says "permission denied". I am the administrator of the laptop account and am using the admin account.

What could be the reason? I am technical but not too technical. Any help would be awesome.

I tried to uninstall and reinstall Calibre with no success. The problem persists.

99% chance your firewall software did a (bad) update and blacklisted Calibre.

You will need to 'exclude'/OK calibre.exe (you probably the full path to it)
