Thanks for the tip! You know what? I think it actually worked!

After setting the flag, and restarting twice (just to make sure), I opened Calibre and it hard crashed after the splash window. So I restarted once more, and so far, it's been stable! I've added 41 books (mix of epub, azw3, and mostly pdf) and no crashes. I edited the publisher tag and no crashes. This is the most stable it's been!

I'm looking at the driver details for my video card (NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti) and it was updated 5/20/25 which is pretty much when all of the crashes started! So perhaps that really was the issue? The driver is 576.52 and I updated from 566.36

I'll keep plucking around in the program in debug mode and see if I get any further errors!

One thing though:
Is there an easy way to put my custom stuff back? I have some old backups and things, but I'm not sure what the best/quickest way to doing that is.

Example: Custom Columns (i had a big #subject one) and Custom Icons that showed the rating and what kind of file it was.

Thanks!
