Where is the download file?
I think it may have been removed by the utility app Restoro. Each time I started Calibre, Restoro would ask if I wanted to stop Calibre from starting. I don't know why

Have you removed Restoro? If not, why not?
As for the Change, Repair, Remove? Those are the options you will see when you try to re-install calibre over the same version? Have you looked into Program Files\calibre2 to see if the calibre executables are still there? I would suspect that Restoro deleted shortcuts but not the programs. The Repair option should correct that.
To quote from Malwarebytes' site:

What is Restoro?
The Malwarebytes research team has determined that Restoro is a "system optimizer". These so-called "system optimizers" use intentional false positives to convince users that their systems have problems. Then they try to sell you their software, claiming it will remove these problems.

Much the same comments from Microsoft, Norton, etc.
Just for gits and shiggles, I ran it on a new provisioned Windows 10 20H2 VM. Came up with a mass of changes it wanted to make including multiple threat results.
