- and at startup calibre also looks for any updates, to itself and installed optional plugins.

@Kindle3w_Pdfs - if you think your problem is specific to version 3.13, why don't you revert to 3.12 and see if the 'problem' persists. Previous versions are here. To install a previous version you will first need to uninstall what you have, doing that won't affect your libraries or configuration settings etc.

Curious - why do you suspect Python and not say Qt or libmtp?

Do you have any suggestions as why I don't see the "HKLM/.../Tcipip/Parameters" registry key on my two Windows computers on which calibre is installed? One is Win 10 Pro 1703, the other is Win 7 Pro SP1 - both are up to date with latest patches etc. The Win 10 system has latest calibre, the Win 7 system has calibre 3.7.
