Still, it is strange that some machines have this problem.

This computer runs calibre x64 on Windows 7 x64, and it has never had its Windows Updates cleaned out. It never had any maintenance except for Disk Cleanup and CCleaner. Even more so... this installation is an in-place upgrade of Vista x64, and it's 7 (!) years old. This computer has never been re-installed during its working life.

Calibre starts within 5-6 seconds, and during its startup, the computer is not locked.
