Two problems with Calibre and Kindle

Hi,
Have searched for answers without success.
Problem One
Calibre will not load on my laptop. It was OK yesterday and since then I loaded Calibre 8.2.1 and it comes up with message "This app can't run on your PC - To find a version for your PC check with the software publisher" I am having trouble believing that it is Calibre's fault. It does run OK on my other laptop.

Problem Two
Calibre will not recognise that the Kindle is connected. The Kindle while plugged intop the USB port charges via the USB but does not show under File Explorer as a "disk" connection. I am running Windows 11 Home Version 23H2. I am currently using my Kindle Paperwhite 6th Generation (I have also tried using my Kindle paperwhite 7th Generation with same no result. I also have a Fire tablet). I have also tried the same Kindles and Calibre connection on another laptop and have the same no result. Both Kindles are in areoplane mode and it is some years since I have bought books from Amazon. When I did I downloaded them via USB.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.
