Calibre window suddenly won't open

FourGold · 11-15-2019, 03:57 PM

I've been using Calibre for at least 10 years with no problems, but suddenly this week the main window will not open. It is showing on the taskbar, but won't open. I ran the Windows debug command and this is the output.

C:\Users\Nancy>calibre-debug -g
calibre 4.3 [64bit] embedded-python: True is64bit: True

Can anyone tell from this what the problem might be ?
TIA

It may be (lost) off screen. (this has happened to a few folk)
Alt+Space M then use the left facing arrow key a bunch of times until you can grab it normally.
If that does not work, try the down one
