maybe not wake up as such, but look up some such, on LAN or WAN; or some other network jiggery pokery.

HarryT - try disconnecting the PC from your network before starting calibre.
And some long shots :
- Rename the calibre configuration folder to calibre-save. When you start calibre, you may have to 'reconnect' your libraries via Switch/create library. If no effect, delete the newly created configuration folder and rename the old one, calibre-save, back to calibre.
- Do with calibre-cache the same as above, its in -- C:\Users\{username}\AppData\Local or C:\Users\{username}\AppData\LocalLow -- I forget which, because I've moved mine.
- Remove calibre-{anything} from C:\Users\{username}\AppData\Local\Temp
You could also try making use of calibre's Environment variables to relocate the configuration, temporary and cache folders.
