I can test using the portable and attach to my library or create a new one, but again if it does work, then some of the extra Calibre junk floating on the system is causing it clog and needs to be removed.
Indeed, if portable works it would mean that your problem is not with Qt web engine or video drivers - that's all I was seeking to prove at the time.

If you want to nuke what you have,
  • use the button in Preferences->Miscellaneous to open the calibre configuration directory;
  • close calibre;
  • delete the configuration directory (its normally in %APPDATA%);
  • uninstall calibre,
  • run a lightweight registry cleaner to get rid of the calibre related entries that Windows creates.
That won't remove your libraries, but it will remove all preference settings, customisations, plugins etc.
