You've done something weird to Windows.

I have never needed to reboot Windows after a calibre install or update… and I've done it hundreds of times; nor have I needed reboot after the couple of dozen MacOS or Linux installs I've done for other people.

And I suspect that's true of the vast majority of the 2.7 million active calibre users.

On Windows, the only software (apart from itself) that might require a reboot after an update are shell extensions such as File Menu Tools, Link Shell Extension etc… but they don't leave you stranded, you run the old version until you do the reboot.
