So at first I thought Calibre was freezing because I would hit "download metadata" and nothing would happen and I wouldn't be able to close it or anything. Then, after searching a bit, I came across this link in one of the threads:

Which included this:

You recently connected an external monitor or TV to your computer. In this case, whenever calibre opens a new window like the edit metadata window or the conversion dialog, it appears on the second monitor where you don’t notice it and so you think calibre has frozen. Disconnect your second monitor and restart calibre.

Immediately after hitting the "download metadata" button, I hit "alt-f4" and was able to use calibre again like usual so that is clearly the issue. I just can't find the dialogue box. It's not under windows or on another screen or anywhere visible. It's fully off-screen.
I've tried using the "cascade windows" options to force it onto the visible screens, but this dialogue box ignores it. I've turned off the "extend monitors" option and set it to use only one monitor for everything and it still didn't work.
Does anyone have any idea how to fix this? Or maybe reset the window preferences for dialogue boxes or anything? I'm losing my mind here!
