Can no longer add books to Calibre

When I click the Add Books button in Calibre I now get an error message:

calibre, version 4.18.0
ERROR: Unhandled exception: <b>Exception</b>:File dialog failed (return code -1073741819):

I've tried updating the software, and I've tried excluding Calibre and the library files from my Norton Antivirus, but I still get this error message.
