Oh yes, the last thing I did before the Avast update was to run a check on the library and make some corrections.
Since then Calibre would not open. It would sit there for hours, I actually let it sit overnight to see if it would finally open.
I uninstalled Calibre using Control Panel and after a reboot reinstalled. Still no luck opening the program. I finally renamed the library directory so it would open on an empty folder. After a fairly long wait Calibre opened. I then switched to the newly named directory and my library was fine.
Once again Calibre is taking a long time trying to open. It has been three hours. I am wondering where I should be looking. The library itself is on a normal hard drive. The program is running on an SSD.
If anyone else has had these issues I would like any hints you have for fixing it.
I am starting to think I need to look into doing a reinstall of windows. It has been years since I did a clean install.

I'd get rid of Avast - or at least exclude all calibre related folders (install, libraries, configuration, and cache) from its grasp. I'd also give calibre a private TEMP folder and exclude that as well.
