Thanks for the kind words. What you probably ran into is the anti-ransomware capability of Windows Defender (what shows up as Controlled Folder access). The Documents folder is part of those controlled folders by default. That is one of the reasons that calibre around version 3.30 started installing it's libraries outside the Documents folder for a new install.

It makes sense that you don't want to allow random programs to access system folders but I just wish Microsoft had the common sense to have Windows Defender notify the enduser when this capability is activated.
