It maybe Onedrive. A recent edition of Windows 10 (possibly 1803 or 1809) defaults to having OneDrive synchronise the Document, Desktop, and Pictures folders to the cloud. Synchronising a calibre library to the cloud is a no-no, see ==>> I am getting errors with my calibre library on a networked drive/NAS?

So you have two choices - keep the library in a location that Onedrive doesn't synch, or pause Onedrive when you're doing anything with calibre - including the command line tools, and the server etc.

As of version 3.30

Quote:
The default calibre library location is now not in My Documents but instead in the user home folder, to avoid issues with OneDrive auto-syncing calibre libraries.
But that only applies to new installations of course.
