Calibre will not load after update

[MJLee]

I wasn't sure where to put this so if I'm in the wrong forum, mea culpa and move it.

I just updated to 3.3.1 and I've run into a problem I've never had before. For the first time I end up in the wizard and after chosing library location and generic e-ink device (also tried Kobo since I have a Aura One I click on the Finish button and nothing happens, Calibre won't launch. Should add that I tried a new empty folder if the problem was my library. I deleted and downgraded to 3.20 just to see what happens. But now I run into the wizard in 3.20 and there is the same problem, eg I click finish after it finished installing and it won't launch as in, nothing happens. I tried rebooting, turning off Norton etc. Very strange problem.

Is there any way I can bypass the wizard like I could do previously? I should add that I installed the portable version and it works fine.

The wizard comes up when it can't find the previous installations settings.
(Settings are NOT removed if doing an uninstall).

I found a way around it. Opened the ebook viewer and got into it that way and now I can open it. Hooray.

I honestly don't understand why it's suddenly bugging out since I've dl and installed every update without the welcoming wizard and no problem.
