I switched off McAffee and tried again and it still did not open.

Thank you to all those of you who responded, but clearly something is no longer working right somewhere and short of buying a new laptop (which I am clearly not going to do!) I can't see any other way forward.
Try this before giving up.

Add this as an environment variable, reboot, and install calibre 8.0.1 an see if it works.

Code:
QTWEBENGINE_CHROMIUM_FLAGS="--disable-gpu"
