Did you contact M$ ? (or your IT department) This is a OS level issue.

The windows (even existed in DOS. In Linux it is /dev/nul ) standard device NUL: (like LPT1:,C: COM1: ) is missing or blocked . Firewalled?

NUL: is the system bit bucket to keep you from having to see messages from subroutines used by calibre

Update to Windows 10. That should fix whatever is wrong with the 8.1 install.
