Hmm, the new Default Programs register is blocking it?

I would hope that an error there didn't block calibre from starting...

OK. In src/calibre/gui_launch.py, change:

Code:

def register_with_default_programs():
    from calibre.constants import iswindows
    if iswindows:

from "if iswindows:" to "if False:"
