BTW no issues here W10 x64, so it is local to your system


And I think there are more than enough W10/Calibre users to be confident that it is something peculiar to your setup. I suspect its 'special hardware' related and other bloatware that is loaded at startup. As a general rule the only software that hardware really needs are the relevant drivers - but not the colourful widget that makes it go 'ping'.

Suggest you take an image backup of your system - I would use Macrium Pro version, which can do incrementals, or the one that's built into Windows 10 (google Windows 10 image backup) make sure you know how to restore. I would not use anything that MSI shipped - or, Dell, or HP etc etc. And then either:

disable all non Microsoft software from startup and reboot and test
or
disable non Microsoft software item-by-item from startup and reboot and test progressively

If push comes to shove, reinstall a clean Windows 10 ==>> Windows 10 Reinstall Tutorial
