(It's basically the first step to any software troubleshooting: Go to latest patches, then see if the problem persists. Exceptions may apply. Netasq, I'm looking at you.)

Sound principles in general. However, I shouldn't think that calibre has changed in any meaningful way from minor version to minor version that would cause an unpatched Win8 to totally FUBAR. It is most likely some other program reacting in a catastrophic manner.

And for the record, my money is always on the antivirus.
