Hello, updated to 2.27.0 today and now have the following issue.
When connecting my Kobo I get message :

Code:
calibre, version 9.3.0 (win32, embedded-python: True)
Failed to back up device database: Failed: Backing up Kobo device database

[WinError 32] The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process: 'C:\\Temp\\calibre-tplut7l8\\koboutilities-backup-adeqgo9r\\.kobo\\KoboReader.sqlite'

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "shutil.py", line 701, in _rmtree_unsafe
PermissionError: [WinError 32] The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process: 'C:\\Temp\\calibre-tplut7l8\\koboutilities-backup-adeqgo9r\\.kobo\\KoboReader.sqlite'

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "calibre\gui2\device.py", line 110, in run
  File "calibre_plugins.koboutilities.features.backup", line 171, in device_database_backup_job
  File "tempfile.py", line 971, in __exit__

Checking my folders it appears that a database backup was in fact backed-up

Then after using Device > Eject this device my kobo is not disconnected from Win11 and cannot be (saying device still in use despite Calibre shutdown 7 no other windows open. Disconnecting cable lets books get added and dbase appears OK
