Try deleting that calibre desktop shortcut, then create a new one

Yours matches mine (8.14 on W10)
Where is your Library?
Where is the TMP /TEMP

SystemRoot=C:\WINDOWS
TEMP=C:\Users\thedu\AppData\Local\Temp
TMP=C:\Users\thedu\AppData\Local\Temp

Exactly the same as what you posted. Same locations and folders. I'm running windows 11 Home though, I know it said Windows 10 when I did the debug, however that's incorrect. Windows 11 Home, 25H2

Now working perfect! I changed ownership of software to my admin name. Thanks everyone!

I also HATED the tile interface in W8, so I skipped that.

I actually quite liked Windows 8.1. But that's because I found Classic Shell which allowed me to have a proper start menu. If I did not find Classic Shell, I would not have liked Windows 8.1. Windows 8.1 came on the laptop I was using at the time.
