I hypothesize this as I used to experience the same lock out in Win 7 ( cannot use mouse etc for 1 minute+ ) from a different program when it was set to run at start up ( not from calibre) , and i know that calibre scans for connected devices.

good point - this sort of thing can happen at any time if a usb device has gone to sleep - usually a disk drive that spins down after no usage.
My file manager will take longer to start in that situation, ~10 seconds rather than 1-2secs; At one time it it was up to 3 or 4 minutes if a shared drive was unavailable, which was eventually reduced to ~10 seconds.
