Replace "Calibre" with "Windows" in your above sentence, if you want to correctly identify the culprit.

The problems you are encountering are not Calibre's fault. They are Windows fault. Or you might say they are due to you not providing enough resources for Windows to run effectively. Windows takes a lot of resources. Much more so than every other operating system out there. I can't imagine running Windows on anything less than 8Gb these days, with 16Gb being significantly better. You can still run a really good GUI-based Linux desktop on only 4Gb.

To fix your issue, I would advise adding more RAM if you want to continue using Windows. Or switch to Linux if you want to continue using the hardware/resources you currently have. I think Linux is the much better choice, BUT, if you are not willing to learn something new and expect "Linux to be just like Windows" then abandon the thought of switching immediately and just stick with Windows.
