Thanks for the info that led to my solution to this problem. I use Win 10. I recently switched on the included Ransomware protected folder option in the Win 10 settings. I went back to the Ransomware settings: Settings>Update and Security>Windows Security>Virus & Threat Protection>Manage Ransomware Protection>Allow an App through Controlled Folder Access>Add an Allowed App>Recently Blocked Apps. At this point calibre.exe and calibre-parallel.exe were shown. I added them, and can now add ebooks again. You can also exclude whole folders from MS Ramsomware protection, but I want to keep as much protection as possible without interfering with my programs.
-I hope this helps.
