It looks like you're trying to run Calibre 8.14 on a Windows 10 system. Have you been able to run prior 8.x versions of Calibre on this machine? Or any 7.x version of Calibre on this machine? (See the notes on the Calibre update page,
https://calibre-ebook.com/download_windows
)

Did you ever have a second monitor? Maybe the UI is starting off-screen.

Try the following...
Hit alt-space
down arrow once
Hit enter
Use the left or right arrow keys to try to move the window on screen

Every other program on my laptop is fine, Calibre is only one where I specifically have to open as administrator.

YOU DID NOT ANSWER THE QUESTION in the prior post.
If we wanted to know about Other Programs, we would ask. Ghost 2nd monitor is a common glitch.
Does Calibre (reg user logon) show in taskman?
