I am running Windows 10 Pro (64 bit), version 1703, OS build 15063.413
I used the restart feature successfully on both the portable version and the 64 bit versions of calibre. |

I think there are other differences too. BTW: MS released some security patched for XP! See ==>> June 2017 security update release – MSRC BR |

I'm having the same issue with 3.1.0 (perhaps with 3.0 also, but didn't try there).
Restart doesn't work, restart in debug mode does. Windows 10 Home 1703, build 15063.413. |

Seems to be something in windows 10 home -- unfortunately I only have windows 10 pro. I'm surprised though, as I would not think that basic functionality of launching processes would be different between home and pro.

@chaley: The restart logic is in gui2/main.py around line 394 you can stick some print statements in there to see what is happening. (You will need to print to a file somewhere, as stdout/stderr are redirected to NUL).
print >>open('c:/log.txt', 'a'), 'some debug stuff' or from calibre import prints prints('some debug stuff', file=open('c:/log.txt', 'a')) |

Oh and since it works runnign from source, you'll have to make your changes to the pylib.zip file in the calibre install folder. Basically fund gui2/main.pyo in there, delete it and replace it with your modified gui2/main.py

Another thing you can check using processexplorer is to see if the main rpocess is actually launching the child process on restart or dying before that. If the latter I assuem the child process dies, it might be useful to see what it is doing when it dies.

Be interesting to know if other restartable programs suffer a similar fate on Win 10 Home version 1703 - firefox comes to mind.
Process Explorer has an option to restart a running task, can it restart calibre 3 on windows 1703 Home. It works fine on Windows 1611 Pro. BR |
