This application failed to start because no Qt platform plugin could be
initialized. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.

Available platform plugins are: direct2d, minimal, offscreen, windows.

OK"

Reinstalling did not fix the issue.
Any fix for this please ?

Currently installed calibre-64bit-5.44.0


Also is there a 32bit version for 6 ?

You can fix the problem by upgrading to Windows 10 for free from Microsoft.

Calibre 6 will have no 32-bit version since QT6 is 64-bit only.
