Calibre Error: Failed to Connect to Listener

chantw0968 · 03-11-2021, 07:05 PM

Hello,
I received this error when I tried opening Calibre.
Failed to connect to Listener at: \\.\pipe\CalibreGUI-Dawnx with error: QLocalSocket::connectToServer: Invalid name

b'launched:["calibre.exe"]'

I also get error when I try to add books and I have to constantly keep double-clicking to add.

Please advise.
