I have spent all day testing out Safe Mode with over an hour or more between each opening of Calibre. With restarting in Safe Mode option 4 (labeled as Enable Safe Mode) it opened up fast the first time but slow the 2nd time.

Then I restarted in Safe Mode option 8 (labeled as Disable early launch anti-malware protection). Calibre opened fast 3 times in a row.

I was wondering if Malwarebytes was causing problems so I uninstalled it and switched back to a regular restart and it opened up fast the first time but slow the 2nd time. So Malwarebytes is not the problem.

Any suggestions? I do have a VPN and an adblocker on my PC but don't think they would affect Calibre. I have never touched the built in Microsoft virus stuff and have no idea what early launch anti-malware protection is or how to configure it.
