Calibre-Portable.

After 2 or 3 seconds, even the RESSOURCE MONITOR freezed until I counted to 50, and then calibre started.

Just to be sure, i restarted it with ressource monitor active. On this second start, no freeze, very little disc activity and no freeze.

So there is something, done only on first start after reboot, that freeze Windows. Activity during the freeze was NOT recorded, everything was
really dead.
@JeanPaulo - - I think that clears up those loose (dead) ends

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

The only new suggestion I have is to 'devise a process' to compare detailed system specs from computers that have the problem with same info from computers that don't have the problem, using something like Speccy.

Not sure that we should do that in an open forum - any thoughts?
