Suddenly, my Calibre v4.2 (running on an up-to-date Windows 10 PC) won't show its main screen after the splash screen. Task Manager confirms that it's running.

I've rebooted the computer twice, run the 'repair' function on Calibre, and finally uninstalled Calibre and re-installed the program. It hasn't helped.

The only thing I can think of is that Windows 10 recently had an automatic update overnight. I haven't changed anything else and am only running Defender as my AV program.

I've been using Calibre successfully for 4 years and have 33,000 books in my database.

Am at my wits end. Can anyone help?
