I got the Windows 10 anniversary update and Calibre is having difficulty seeing my Kobo Glo.

I get this error when I plug my reader into Calibre:

Code:
CantOpenError: unable to open database file

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "site-packages\calibre\gui2\device.py", line 87, in run
  File "site-packages\calibre\gui2\device.py", line 503, in _books
  File "site-packages\calibre\devices\kobo\driver.py", line 1659, in books
  File "site-packages\calibre\devices\kobo\driver.py", line 161, in device_database_connection
CantOpenError: CantOpenError: unable to open database file
I followed the steps DNSB listed out, Windows 10 can see my eReader, but Calibre is having issues.
