Open the Library folder in (the folder) Explorer.
Do you see Author name folders?
Do you see metadata.db? (how big is it in MB?)

If those are there, your Calibre installation or configuration is probably corrupt (installing new/old versions does not change the configuration) or you have a Malware or rogue A/V problem.

Rename(prior to a possible delete) the Calibre configuration folder (this will also remove all settings)

This folder is in the users AppData (hidden by default)\Roaming

C:\users\<logon name>\AppData\Roaming\calibre <-rename

This will be recreated with Defaults the next time you start Calibre. You will be asked for the Location of the Library (if it is not already the default name and location) . In your case: Simply use the Create/Switch:Use Existing option to point to the location of your Library
