I tried disabling that plugin on my calibre install and the Running database shutdown plugins message disappeared. Re-enabled it and the message re-appeared.

As I mention in another post, I have ongoing health issues which is why I am now replying to this post and this thread a month-and-a-half later.
I check my Calibre program to see what plugins I had installed -- and there was the "Backup Configuration Folder" plugin!
It said it was installed in February 2025 -- which I do
NOT remember doing -- and the problem with the seemingly never-ending shutdown only started to happen 3-4 months ago. So there was an over 6-month period when that plugin was installed and
NOT causing the endless shutdown.
AND, YES, the "Backup Configuration Folder" WAS the cause of the forever shutting-down problem. I deleted it; restarted Calibre (using the restart button), and then clicked the "X" to shut Calibre and it fully closed within a second. I
never even got any kind of shutdown message at all. Just
*BLINK* Calibre fully closed!
So my apologies to those whom I said this seemed to be a Calibre problem and NOT a plugin problem. You were correct and I was wrong. It was that "Backup" plugin that WAS causing this problem.
As I said, I removed it and now shutdown happens in a second. No more endlessly waiting (I let it shutdown once on its own and it took 3-4 minutes to do so!) -- and, DAMN, I was getting really, really tired of having to use Task Manager to shutdown Calibre. That was so annoying.
So, THANKS TO ALL AND ESPECIALLY TO THE FROG DNSB / Bibliophagist!
