Windows 10 <-> 8.1 and Calibre 64 bit

I took the Windows 10 upgrade offer. Calibre continued working fine. After a few days useage and research I decided, for privacy reasons, to revert to 8.1. That's when my troubles started.

Various other programs now have similar glitches making them effectively unuseable. I have tried upgrading to latest versions of everything:

As soon as I press the 'add-books' button, a system error is reported and Calibre shuts down. All other features (that I have tried) continue to work normally.

Other programs affected by the aborted Win10 u/grade: Norton Security - will not upgrade or refresh virus definitions; Western Digital Smartware - will not upgrade and existing installation broken.

Any ideas besides giving Microsoft another (in a 30 year relationship) juicy piece of my mind?
