Calibre not recognizing 505

ok, I had 5.10
was adding books, converting
got an error, calibre closed
(and I clicked "send error message")
later, I re-opened but 505 not showing next to Library

restarted pc
downloaded, installed 5.14
505 still not showing

505 does show on my pc as a drive
and I added books that way
but I like using to Calibre for adding books

anything I can try or test?

Thanks!

and I got this the second time:

I open up RUN box

You put it after calibre-debug.
type: "C:\Program Files\calibre\calibre-debug -d"
To redirect output to some file, put after -d (and space) text >output.txt

At this point, I've tried with quotes and without quotes...
I so rarely use this part of my pc I've forgotten how.

Something on your computer is preventing calibre from detecting the drives (more precisely it is preventing calibre from using WMI to query your system for drives). Installed any new/updated anti virus/anti-malware software recently?

I have Avira Antivir personal (free) edition installed
and it updates itself weekly/monthly.

I will look further on my pc for what could be causing
this issue. Hopefully, I'll get it sorted out soon.

Thanks Kovid and the other members here for your help! : )
