Some of them irreplaceable like my whole collection of Stephen King, John Grisham, Sydney Sheldon, Sherri L. King, Lynn Young (who I think is dead) and the Breeds collection of Lora Leigh. ![]() I've searched everywhere, in all the drives, all windows related folders. One thing that is different with win 10 is that, it sees calibre as threat, where in win 8, when I selected calibre as a trusted appli, no message to double check any installation or update. My son think that win update messed with calibre Last edited by daisygabina; 07-15-2016 at 02:10 AM. |

My Win 10 has never 'seen calibre as a threat'. Are you sure its Windows telling you that and not some 3rd party Security Suite.
Does your son have any evidence that the Windows update 'messed with calibre'. There are about 3.08M active calibre users, more than 80% of them use Windows, that's ~2.46M. According to NetMarketing, Windows Version 10 has about 20% market share. Let's be conservative and use 10% - which means 246,000 calibre users are on Windows 10. As far as we know you're the only one where a Windows update 'messed with their calibre'. See Usage Statistics for calibre, and Operating system market share BR |

And the message I keep getting whenever there's an update or when I installed it, that does bother me. Even when I labelled Calibre as a trusted appli form a TRUSTED source, (I did the same with Avast) And telling yours work doesn't change facts, I've always trusted and used Calibre years ago, so maybe out of 10,000 users I'm the one struck with a 'glitch' or 'bug' I'm going to call it. If you work with the windows team @ microsoft and you tell me it's impossible, I won't back up. BECAUSE THE ONLY CHANGE IN THE SYSTEMS WERE THE UPDATES. NOTHING INSTALLED, NOTHING ELSE UPDATED Last edited by daisygabina; 07-15-2016 at 06:17 AM. |

@daisygabina - you could try using System Restore to put your system back to a point before things started going haywire. See Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\System->Advanced System Settings (on the left)->System Protection tab.
I would suggest you take a restore point before doing the above, so that if restoring back to an earlier point in time proves pointless you can get back to where you are now. Or you could try un-installing those MS updates you think are to blame via Control Panel\Programs\Programs and Features->View Installed updates (on the left). I doubt either will recover your data, i.e. your library, hence the emphasis on 'try'. But they're worth a try ![]() If you think MS is to 'blame' you should take the issue up with them. Moderator Notice This is a public forum where calibre users volunteer their their time and resources to try to help one another solve problems, and use the software effectively. If you shout at them it's unlikely to encourage them to do that for you. BR |

I am going to use calibre to convert my books and see if the same problem occurs again (win update). Then I'll know for sure. Discussing about it now seem pointless. Thank all of you for your help and suggestions. Since by nature I'm lazy, I would still like an option in the interface to delete original files after converting. So what do you think? |

When you tried the System Restore you should have seen something like the following. If you didn't get multiple dates that probably means your son has tweaked Windows to limit Restore Point retention to most recent only Ψ² BR |

You should be looking at Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\System viz: But your son has probably configured Windows differently to the way I configure it so you may not see the options I see, or at least not in the same places. BR |

If you are not getting restore points, someone has turned creating them off (they are ON, out of the box and should be left that way).
