Problems - reinstall?

I've been having weird problems with the calibre reader and editor. I still get that fatal "OpenGL context error" from time to time in the editor. When the reader does that "preparing book for first opening" (or whatever it says) it seems to take forever. I know people say, "But it's only the first time!", but it isn't. I use the editor to repair typos and such, and every time I do that I have to go through the startup preparation again. Right now it's taking about a minute.

What's worse, sometimes the spinning circle just stops, and I have to kill the reader and re-launch it. This also happens on a regular book open, not just the "first opening" thing.

I've never had problems like this with calibre until the last month or so. I'm wondering if it might help to just uninstall it and reinstall from scratch. Any opinions? I assume if I do that, my library will remain untouched.

I'm using v4.19 on Windows 10 2004, 64-bit.
