Issue Opening Calibre 5.33.2
I’m having trouble with Calibre version 5.33.2 on Windows 10. I can’t open it.
I initially had issues installing it and needed to change permission from System to Admin. Then it worked fine, that was last week. Today it wouldn’t open so I redownloaded it and installed it, it opened fine. Now it won’t open at all. I’ve tried to reinstall it but it now only gives option to change, repair or remove it. I’ve tried repair but it still won’t open. Can anyone help please? Thanks Last edited by Josieb1; 12-07-2021 at 05:06 AM. |

Thank you. This is the debug screenshot. I have a windows 11 pc and a mac and they are both fine on 5.32 btw. I haven't upgraded them to 5.33 yet.

I'm happy to do this, although very nervous tbh, but i'd rather know what the problem is with 5.33, or my PC, before I do this. I have two other pc's, a W11 and a mac, both on 5.32, I won't upgrade them to 5.33 until I know whats wrong on my W10 pc.

One way it can happen is if the C: file system is corrupt, causing cruft to be written in various places. It is a good idea to check the C: file system. Right click on the C drive, pick Properties / Tools / Error checking. |
