Like I said, the devs seem, as shown by their auto-response, completely uninterested in fixing this problem so I'm pretty uninterested in giving them any more of my time.
The problem with that is that Kovid's response does solve 95% of these sort of problems. Until he is confident you have done everything suggested, then going further is potentially a waste of time. One of those suggestions is to reboot the PC. Your first post did not say that you have done this.

In any case, reading the error message, something has gone wrong writing a file on the device. Can you copy a file to the device using explorer or the command line? If you can't then calibre won't be able to as it relies on the OS to do this.

Kovid did suggest a workaround. As the device is an MTP device, it can do this over WiFi. As MS seem to be messing up USB connections to various devices recently, this might be the safer option.
