I think I went thru 3 reboot notices on my Laptop in the last couple of days.

I've gotten an assortment of updates recently. Some are security fixes. Others are more extensive and make visible changes and add features.
As a rule, I prefer to apply updates promptly, so when they arrive, if they require reboots, it's not a big deal to close open applications, apply the updates, and reboot. I boot off an SSD, and I generally don't have multiple applications open at once. For the most part, closing Firefox is all that is needed.
(I am also not one of the folks who tries to
prevent Win10 updates because they can break things. It's possible I'm lucky, but I have a fairly vanilla system, and updates have never broken things here.)
I'd already done the last Win10 Update reboot required before I encountered the issue with Calibre failing to update. And Task Manager is my friend, and I'd already confirmed I didn't have a stuck Calibre process in the background somewhere.
At this point, I have a working current Calibre installation, so the problem gets tossed onto the "One of life's little unsolved mysteries" stack and I move on. It's simply the first time I've seen a Calibre Update fail, so it's a
WTF? moment.
