I've followed the tutorial https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=251201 to setup a Windows Visual Studio Environment to check what is wrong.
I've created a new network drive and I do some tests. Calibre works on my network drive if I mount it on a root share folder (es. net use X: \\ip-address\folder). If I use Calibre inside a subfolders and I mount it as a network drive it fails (es. net use X: \\ip-address\root-folder\sub-dir). I don't understand why. |

Do not use network drives for your calibre library https://manual.calibre-ebook.com/faq...rked-drive-nas

Ok, you warned me, but I will continue to use Calibre on my network disk.
I use the windows portable version only from my Windows desktop to add books. From my network and outside I use cobs https://github.com/seblucas/cops to access my libraries. The problem I've found is only a network map problem. SQLite can works on network share. Quote:
Samba should also provide all the same locking semantics that Windows clients expect. Can follow symbol links. I'm not using it in a concurrency way. I don't wont to waste my local drive with this libraries. I use a portable version from a network drive instead of a USB storage. |

Tried to repair with no success

I have been using Calibre for many years and have really enjoyed the ease of use. Unfortunately it no longer works as described by the posts here. I have disabled all firewalls and virus protection. I have made sure to install the software on the parent C drive. I have even tried running the program in safe mode on my windows 10 HP Pavilion. All with no luck. I really hate not being able to add to my library and manage all of my books. Hope you will be able to track this down for us! Best regards, Allen |

Thank you so much for the solution! Calibre stopped accessing any files and I couldn't load any books. After reloading Calibre and unloading multiple times I found this list and I went into Windows Defender, disabled the Ransomware Protection and voila! It works again!! Mind you, I had to google for instructions on how to do it but it works!
