Yeah, that's the problem with autoupdate it discourages reading release notes - I assume you're using one of the third party scripts.

The deDRM doesn't work with calibre 5, there's a thread about it at the top of the main calibre forum. And don't install the deDRM beta on github, it'll only make things worse.

Uninstall 5.01 via control panel, your settings and libraries will stay in place, then install 4.23. Then disable the autoupdate and watch 'this space'.

I dropped Revo when I ditched XP in 2009, haven't missed it.
