Out of spite, I decided to try what has been requested several time.
After 6 tries, I finally got the 'Safe mode wit network' message on boot, and started it.
Boots very quickly...
I just launched 'task manager' and the Calibre (nothing else).
Well ! As usual, on first start, I count slowly to 55. Everything frozen, including all of the Task' screen and its clock... When the splash screen shows (at last), it stays for 3 seconds and then the program run immediately.
Closed it, restarted, almost instananeous.
And answer to the 'quote above':
No, not any 'Network drive'
No device running other than the permanent USB disk (forget to check
if it was available, then)
No back-up program running (I do it by hand myself)
Mystery stay entirely (Gremlins, may be ?)
And I do not have any library or scan by Calibre, just an empty lib
that I use to convert files then delete it. Don't even have the 'help book'
in there
