Sorry, but Win10 has done NOTHING to stop calibre working with the library on the computer. It does not touch the library, it does not stop the calibre executable. It definitely does not change the books in any way.

If something has happened like you describe, then I would recommend running virus and malware scanners as soon as you can. And make sure you download calibre from the official site.

There have been a few problems with calibre not being able to access ereaders connected to Win10 computers. For some people, after upgrading to Win10, the device is not mounted in the way calibre expects it. Based on the number of reports here, it is a small number of users who are seeing this. Kovid has been working on this and I believe he has solved the issue. There is a beta with this fix in it available for anyone who needs it.
