I note that I have not had do to any of a or b or c; probably because I am using the free version of panda AV which has sensibly turned OFF defender for me. My W10 is fully updated and my library is still within my docs, with no issues

It is interesting to describe a AV tool that does not attempt to protect against Ransomware as ‘better behaved’. In the modern world ransomware is of increasing concern to average users. Once one understands the reasons behind Windows Defender’s action it is easy enough to take a sensible way forward and avoid the issue in Calibre’s case. I think the mistake on Microsoft’s part is not providing clearer information to user’s of the rationale and effect of this change.
