For what little it may be worth, the 8.5.101 calibre install will run in safe mode on Windows 11 26120.4520 but requires setting QT OPENGL environment variable to software to run in normal mode.

There werent any changes to anything Qt related in this preview, just some changes to unrelated parts of the program. Are you sure this is something specific to the preview? calibre continues to run as before on my windows 11 system.

This was after I updated to the latest Windows 11 Insider Preview update for the beta channel and then updated calibre 8.3 to 8.5.101. I tend to believing it was an issue triggered by the Windows update, hence, my comment for what little it may be worth. I've reported what I think is a bug to Microsoft.

Ah, ok. yes likely a windows beta issue. There have been no changes to Qt and the related parts of calibre since 8.0 was released.
